I think it depends on what you mean by desktop. Traditional heavy PCs
might begin to disappear but people using mobile devices such as
smartphones might want to connect their devices to better monitors and
(better) keyboards. That's sort of a desktop.

In a business setting I can't see the desktop disappearing either.
However, there are chances that we're moving towards even more thin
client solutions.

I think FreeBSD and Linux will power both ends, both clients and
servers, in this scenario.
