Description

Hi,
Ubuntu 24.04 lts, it’s releasing soon, and comes with kernel 6.8.. will wsl include it by default, once 24.04 released?..
I say, because we are at 5.15 , and there was some wsl beta release with a 6.1 kernel but was scrapped..

Thanks..

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked linux-msft-wsl-6.1.y kernel branch and the WSL issue discussion. Determine whether Ubuntu 24.04's kernel version should be included by default and identify the release or kernel configuration entry point involved. Done means the supported default kernel behavior is decided and documented or implemented.
