Microsoft Windows kernel changes don't suddenly mean big things for Linux gaming

This is a counterpoint to this article posted here a few days ago.

Issues with kernel anti-cheat are the biggest barrier to linux gaming being able to play everything, so it's easy to get overly excited about changes to how windows implements it hoping for an improvement.
