From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Google.
They have really good support people, much of the resources are shared with their infrastructure, they have their whole internal software ecosystem.
The question was about small to midsize companies though...
K, my current startup then, though it's a mix of Linux and Mac and the support is just weird really, mostly we just help each other over slack.
Forgot to mention it's a non-tech company.
I just wanna know if there's any small company running mostly Linux ecosystem with some IT governance like LDAP-based authorizations and policies. There are probably clients of companies like red hat doing that, but I think they might be giant corps.
Doubtful there are many, at that scale you often outsource it and those firms do the bare minimum of mail and windows support, Linux experience is harder to come by.
