You seem to be confusing "Linux" with "Linux Distribution"
Linux in it's most precise definition is the kernel used by many Linux
Distributions. The distribution contains many other items of software.

A Company who puts together a distribution (RedHat, Suse, and others)
often have what you term an SLA.

Check the proper sources and use the right terms and you will find what
is needed.

Many companies depend on in-house expertise to handle problems.  Others
require the SLA from the distributor.
