A video mentions GNU but states Linux is an operating system and started in 1991. I getting confused, something wrong with what they said in the video or not?

GNU was publicly announced on September 27, 1983: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU#History.

The Linux kernel was started in 1991: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux#Creation.

People keep misusing the Linux name to refer to the whole of the GNU/Linux operating system. What is making you confused exactly?

The whole video. They say it all started in 1991, then mention GNU, in the end they say again it all started by Linus in 1991 as a home project. I understand whole video is just wrong.

They only omit to mention that the Linux kernel could never have been released under the GNU General Public Licence without the GNU project creating it in the first place.
