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.

At that point you might as well not have a kernel level anti cheat and companies who insist on kernel level anti cheat will block wine. The only solutions I see are
That would ba a massive win in my book, kernel level anticheat is malware.
make it so that they can't block wine without blocking windows and kernel level anticheat is gone
You cannot realistically make it impossible to detect that you're running on wine. Wine just implements the Windows ABIs. The actual code running is totally different. Even just reading any of the binary code of literally any function would reveal it's different from the Windows code. How are you going to stop it from doing memory reads on stuff that it needs to be able to read? You can't. You'd need a full hardware emulator for that.
