That article makes no sense. Even if we take it as given that the "Desktop Windows has had so many problems", none of those problems have anything to do with the NT kernel. Swapping one kernel for another thus have no effect on the desktop or any its "problems".

That was my first thought too, but I do wonder about one aspect here. Doesn't Windows' relatively slow file i/o result largely from the architecture of the kernel-mode I/O subsystem? That's the impression I got from reading up on the issues Microsoft was having trying to speed up WSL (and hence, in part, the move to WSL2).
Having said that, slow file i/o probably wouldn't rank that high in the average user's list of Windows issues.
