Is it possible to make money using your Linux knowledge if you're not a developer? I know I can become a professional devops or sysadmin if I take some courses and master advanced networking. But is there something I can do now as an average, moderately experienced linux user?

I have to hope most devs using Linux would be able to manage their own machines no?

Unless they are not allowed to of course

I think the internet can inflate this view. In my experience supporting devs, there are many very smart people in their wheelhouse who are not very good at system administration. I think it is much like academics who are also often assumed to be good at computers, rather than good at what they do on computers.

Not really... Many are just devs used to say Windows who happened to get to work in a linux environment.

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.
