Ubuntu supports it officially, so does Fedora. From my experience it works more or less fine on CentOS, so probably RHEL too. For Suse there is kGraft, so basically >90% of install base supports live patching.

> Ubuntu supports it officially

I don't think it's part of the usual Ubuntu distro. I understood you need to register to get it. And it's free (as in beer) only for limited use cases. Don't remember the details.
