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.

Wine does translate kernel calls. Perhaps youre misunderstanding how that is then exposed?
Wine translates windows calls (including system level/kernel level) but exposes/implements in userspace on linux.
It doesn’t only do windows userspace to linux userspace
Its a design decision from the wine team to not build it as a kernel module and to instead implement as an application in userspace
Have a read here https://werat.dev/blog/how-wine-works-101/
then if it translates kernel calls why cant some kernel level anticheat run
Because it is in user space.
oh
