Although the Microsoft published WSLg system distro as read-only, we do want to encourage folks to tinker with it and experiment. Although we expect very few folks to actually need or want to do that, we've shared detailed instruction on our [contributing](CONTRIBUTING.md) page on how to both build and deploy a private version of the system distro.
