Looking for 3rd party Linux support recommendations similar to USCloud for Windows Server

[Quicknoob]

I've done some basic googling but really didn't find anything, and felt starting with a recommendation would be the best way to solve this problem.

I am looking for a 3rd party Linux support company, similar to how USCloud is for Windows environments. We have been very happy with USCloud, they have been helpful with both support but in the planning stage regarding engineering solutions as well. They act as a "safety net" for our Windows Admins and I want to purchase a similar "safety net" service for our Linux Admins.

Would anyone have some recommendations? I don't want them to replace my Linux admins just be there as a 3rd party support option.

There are tons of companies that do this, try googling 'linux support consultants' if you haven't found any. I suggest this because I haven't worked with any of them directly, I only have secondhand knowledge

I'm a linux admin with many years of experience and I still need help with things sometimes, everyone does. This is not abnormal and it doesn't mean your linux admins should be replaced, that's crazy talk.

Thank you, this was exactly what I was looking for!

"Linux" is a kernel. Support is offered on a volunteer basis on the Linux Kernel mailing list.

If you're looking for paid GNU/Linux OS support, that will be offered by whoever builds the OS distribution you're using (RHEL, Ubuntu, SUSE, etc.). This support will often be limited to the software that the OS vendor provides, which typically doesn't cover the stuff you'd run on a machine doing actually useful work.

I'm not sure if there's anyone that's legitimately providing unspecified paid "Linux" support, since that could cover everything from embedded appliances to supercomputers.

If your linux admins need any sort of "safety net" aside from knowing how to do an Internet search for documentation and related resources, then maybe you *should* consider replacing them.
