If you mean that Linux with GNU is (very much like) Unix, yes.
If you mean that Linux and GNU are both (very much like) Unix, then no.
The GNU project set out in the early 1980's to create a new operating
system from scratch. It was mostly complete, except for the kernel, when
the Linux kernel became available. AFAIK the GNU/Hurd kernel is still not
ready for production use, so most users of the GNU operating system run it
with the Linux kernel.
The Linux kernel is just that, a kernel. By itself, it is not very useful as an
operating system.

Really? Why do you think that?
