Depends on the desktop environment. If you use GNOME or Xfce then yes, your native toolkit is GTK. As someone pointed out over here [0], if you use KDE then your native toolkit is Qt.

(Posted from Kubuntu, incidentally. KDE is impressively polished these days.)

wxWidgets wraps GTK on Linux (see also https://www.wxwidgets.org/docs/faq/gtk/ ).
