You would still have a Linux distribution (or five) for nerds and techies. I don't see why it distributions would cease to be if Linux became more popular.

Maybe, but I have doubts. Not so much about the distros as such (although there is risk there, too), but more about the utilities and applications.

I've already stopped using several applications that I've been using for years because of this sort of thing. If it keeps up, I fear I'll run out of alternatives.

Sure, the most recent example would be Firefox.
