The kernel is part of the operating system.

This is like saying “Think again! The car mechanic said the car’s engine suffered a failure,” as a retort to someone asking if a faulty spark plug is the cause of the car not working.

The kernel is part of the operating system.

I would argue it IS the operating system. Everything else is just fluff that helps the kernel do it’s job.

Edit: Or helps YOU as the user interact with the kernel.

You could have spared yourself that tangent just by clicking the link.

The update does something that makes the games crash, the reason is not explained, but the “changes” mentioned in the sentence are the ones introduced by the update, not by the games.

Yes, so the update could still be to a part of the kernel that those games’ Denuvo implementations need to not change.

Its not a ‘tangent’.

Its pointing out that the person I was replying to made a category error, resuting in the total nullification of their retort to who they were replying to.
