The title is completely misleading. CPUs aren't being designed to not work on operating systems other than Windows 10. That's flat out wrong. The whole article is just clickbait. Microsoft simply announced it would not be adding support for the latest and greatest features of new CPUs in older operating systems based on the OS position in the support life cycle Microsoft has established. Microsoft basically said "Windows 7 is about to be EOL, and we're not going to churn the code base by introducing a bunch of new code that might destabilize it." That's it. For older Linux kernels to support newer CPU features, someone will have to go back and make kernel patches.
