"Linux is a kernel. It forms part of many operating systems"

Yes, but "no kernel, no operating system".

Weather it's Linux+Hurd, Linux+Something else, it's still Linux in my book.

Most of the userland stuff making up Unix-like OSs come from the same root philosophically, and in many cases from the same programmers.

I'm not concerned so much with the vener on top, but more with the bolts and nuts underneath.

I think you assume that unless you can see a GUI, it's not real. All servers with virtualised Linux environments are real (as real as running software can be).

Or are you saying that Ubuntu, Mint and whatever server versions are used are not Linux because thay have minor differences?

In that case Windows 2000, NT, XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10 are not Windows. Not to mention Windows 3, 95 and 98. They are all different OSs.
