Open Source has been the future since at least 1995, when I got my first Debian and later on Red Hat distros. It has been future for no less than 15 years, and it's still there. It's like the horizon - the closer you get to it, the further it gets. That specifically applies to the desktop distros. The server distros have managed to establish their presence in the enterprises, and benchmark numbers justify respect for them.

As for the Windows Server called "monolithic", someone missed the last few years of Windows Server technology development. Perhaps that someone was too busy compiling and recompiling customized builds of the kernel until "kernel panic" message no longer appeared during booting... just poking fun.
