wsl for Windows 11

 wsl is not installed by default on Windows 11. To install, just type wsl and tap any key to install.

You can then type wsl --version to get version info.

This will tell you the wsl version (e.g. 2.4.13.0), kernel version (5.15.1674-1) and MSRDC version (e.g. 1.2.5716).

The kernel version does not refer to the Windows kernel version but the WSL kernel version. 

Kernel releases can be found here.  MSRDC version refers to Remote Desktop Client whose versions can be found here (and which can be used to connect with Azure Virtual Desktop).
