Seeing how Intel, AMD, AWS, etc. are involved in some way or the other in maintaining their distros or supporting RHEL derivatives, it would make sense for them to band together and do an LTS distro from scratch, or pump enough money into Canonical so that it becomes a viable competitor. The distro is not where the alpha is. So why all the fuss ?

Pouring money into canonical seems unlikely to make ubuntu better. Paying people to work on Debian as individual contributors probably would.

Only if they make Canonical dump snap.

Why on earth would they do that?
