Well, OS is broader than the kernel. I agree with you that Linux is not "a GNU OS," but mostly because only a small portion of any given linux distribution is GNU or couldn't easily be replaced by nearly identical non-GNU components. Certainly once you get into using something like KDE, the bulk of your environment is not in any way part of the GNU project.
