there's a disgusting implication that Linux is stealing code from Windows to implement APIs from this title

I can't wait to get rage baited about it from my windows using friends

"Linux is only doing good now because they're copying windows APIs into the kernel!"

I mean...the code isn't copied but the design is and it honestly frustrates me. Like yes Linux performance is improving...but I personally don't like adding kernel functionality specifically for the benefit of wine

Well, luckily, you can personally have a kernel without that functionality

XD, I do, I already build my own kernel and turn it off...just saying I don't like it
