I'm amused about this whole discussion. As Albert correctly pointed out, 
pretty much all non-geeks will call what they are running either "Linux" 
or, more likely, "<insert name of distro>".

If you want to know what term (or terms) the rest of our users use, then 
go ask them (and make sure you ask them in a way that does not force 
them to give the answer you want to hear). Speculating about what 
term(s) they use on a list where everybody knows more or less exactly 
what each part of KDE ... uhh ... I mean everything created by KDE is 
called makes little sense IMO. But please continue anyway. :-)
