No, systemd and GNOME are not part of mainline, and also GNOME and systemd arent obfuscated

While its possible to find or build a distro without systemd, most of the big names that you would introduce people to use it:

Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, Fedora, OpenSUSE

Hell, Arch uses it

I do get your point about GNOME, and I don’t use a DE anymore so I might be outdated, but Gnome and KDE were the big two back when I used it.

I say obfuscates because gnome configuration is now largely binary, whereas gnome2 used to be text files. The same goes for systemd- the logs are now binary files with journalctl instead of text files

I think you are either trolling or you fundamentally don't understand, what you're talking about.

Nothing is obfuscated. You can download each and every code file, audit it, and build the binaries from exactly that code. You can even compare the binaries to the ones provided by major distros thanks to reproducible builds.

Just because you don't understand code, doesn't mean it's obfuscated. Following that logic, even a loaf of bread is "obfuscated" because you don't understand sour dough.
