" summary

WSA ships as an MSIX application that runs a stock AOSP Android inside a Hyper-V VM launched via WSL2, with the kernel taken from Google (currently 5.15.94) and monthly releases that include a few Microsoft patches like PGO; source, build configs and tags are on GitHub and updates land upstream where possible. WSL2 itself runs a single Upstream LTS kernel for all instances (moving from 5.15 toward 6.1), is easily replaceable by a custom kernel, and emphasizes automated testing and upstream contribution.
