Apart from being open source what is Linux? Could I not create my own operating system that is different to windows or Macos and call it Steve, again there might be an awnser for this and sounds stupid but its more out of curiosity.

Kernel = OS. Tools is what makes the OS actually useful, but strictly speaking they’re not needed.
Nobody would call linux to android (or vice versa), despite having the same kernel.
At least if we speak colloquially, the environment/ecosystem is really enough to define the OS.
