ELI5: Linux Kernel and Anti-Cheat

Hey guys I have been thinking of making the switch to Linux recently, but the only thing stopping me is that some multiplayer games have Anti-cheat that do not support linux. I dont really underatand the whole kernel being open source but I understand the companies reasoning is that the Kernel is open source, even though that is not a “real“ reason.

My question is that if the kernel is open source, wouldn’t you be able to edit the kernel to “act” like Windows to bypass the anti-cheat? Maybe an explanation of the kernel could also answer my question
