SDL2 belongs to desktop, not server packages, so we need to be concerned 
only LTS distros desktop support, not extended server (ELTS) support.


Oldest supported Ubuntu desktop LTS, 18.04, has v2.0.8:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/bionic/libsdl2
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_version_history#Version_timeline

Same as OpenSUSE Leap 15.x:
https://software.opensuse.org/package/SDL2
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSUSE#Version_history

Debian Stretch (9) has v2.0.5:
https://packages.debian.org/source/stretch/libsdl2

But although packages.debian.org still lists v9, it just ran out of LTS 
support, and has only ELTS support:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_version_history#Release_table

I'm not completely sure how to search RHEL package versions without RHEL 
subscription, but according to this, oldest LTS supported RHEL (v7) 
seems to have SDL2 v2.0.14:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/SDL2
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux#Product_life_cycle


=> Even LTS versions of Desktop distros have new enough SDL2.

Does mingw SDL package include SDL2Config.cmake?
