# Release Notes for Windows Subsystem for Linux kernel
12+
13+
We've added support for WSL 2 distributions, [which use a full Linux kernel](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/shipping-a-linux-kernel-with-windows/). This Linux kernel is open source, with its source code available at the [WSL2-Linux-Kernel](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL2-Linux-Kernel) repository. This Linux kernel is delivered to your machine via Microsoft Update, and follows a separate release schedule to the Windows Subsystem for Linux which is delivered as part of the Windows image.
