I really think the GNOME OS idea is a very good one, that is, making
GNOME provide access to configuration and features of the underlying OS,
so that it is a complete desktop that can deal with everything the users
would ever need from a desktop.
The idea is fine, but calling it "GNOME OS" is confusing since GNOME
was designed to be part of the GNU operating system. Someone else
suggested "GNOME Desktop System" -- that avoids the confusion.
But at the same time we have people from OSes other than Linux
interested in using GNOME,
Linux isn't an operating system, it's a kernel. I think you're
talking about the GNU system but calling it "Linux".
That's a big misunderstanding. GNOME has no special relationship
with Linux but does have one with the GNU system (see gnome.org).
