Typically, GNU packages are the largest single block of code on any given "Linux" distribution. If you had a system where they were in the minority (without just installing every non-gnu thing you could find to do so -- something I definitely don't hold below you), then you could probably call it KDE/Linux or whatever, but I highly doubt that.

And by the same token, how can you have a general purpose OS in 2009 without a web browser?
I'm not responding to this because I already have.
