Chris, you are avoiding the issue with an almost vacuous statement.
What comes installed on a Wintel-PC includes an operating system too.
Linux includes an operating system. Almost every computer system
includes an operating system.
You are correct that there are a lot of people (incl. you) that claim they
know what is an operating system. The problem is that their knowledge
often do not overlap to any degree of significance.
