From the article

Microsoft has officially announced its intent to move security measures out of the kernel, following the Crowdstrike disaster a few short months ago. The removal of kernel access for security solutions would likely revolutionise running Windows games on the Steam Deck and other Linux systems.

It's probably going to move to hardware attestation similar to what Android and iOS are doing. This may or may not be a good thing.

Can anyone give an ELI5 on how hardware attestation works or is implemented on current OSes?
