No. Linux is a Unix-Like and mostly POSIX compliant OS assembled under the model of free and open source software development and distribution. -Wikipedia.
Linux is not considered an operating system but the kernel. If you combine the linux kernel with some utilities, mainly utilities (software) created as a result of the GNU project, you get GNU Linux. Now that's a complete Operating System.
