From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just uninstall your proprietary parent and install Linux.
I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're referring to as Parents, are in fact, GNU/Parents, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Parents
How do I uninstall my mom??
Open your terminal and run sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root. Trust me bro, it works!
Mom?
...
MOOOOM?!
Hello son, I am your mother. However, I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're referring to as Mom, is in fact, GNU/Mom, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Mom.
