The kernel is managed outside the distribution and is not linked to the distribution's package system. When you need the kernel source, you can get it here. https://github.com/microsoft/WSL2-Linux-Kernel/tree/linux-msft-wsl-5.10.y
All kernel modules are compiled into the kernel statically by-design. WSL does not have a DDC I²C bus besides.
@therealkenc is this accepted feature issue for "allow kernel modules to be run dynamically"?
