Phoronix has an article up about some interesting ideas of Lennart Poettering about what could be a possible future for Linux:
Lennart Poettering of systemd and PulseAudio fame has published a lengthy blog post that shares his vision for how he wishes to change how Linux software systems are put together to address a wide variety of issues. The Btrfs file-system and systemd play big roles with his new vision. Long story short, Lennart is trying to tackle how Linux distributions and software systems themselves are assembled to improve security, deal with the challenges of upstream software vendors integrating into many different distributions, and "the classic Linux distribution scheme is frequently not what end users want."

Major, maybe. Oldest (and still the best), definitely not.
Get Slack [slackware.org] and kiss systemd/pulseaudio goodbye!
Also still ships out with KDE (as well as XFCE, Fluxbox, and a few others...I personally use i3).
That all said, BSD's may be set to explode in popularity soon if the widely used distros keep going the way they do. Might not be the worst time to started getting used to slightly different syntax...
