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.

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?

If you like teaching/training that could be an avenue to make money with some of that knowledge.

You would need to consolidate that knowledge and show that you have a good enough understanding of that topic to teach it but it's a pretty good way to learn more and make some money along the way.

Not every training needs to be kernel level types of expertise, a lot of people train on the basics of Linux and could use some training. For instance many business will send admins that are knowledgeable on Windows to learn also on Linux so they can do both at the same time.

This is a brilliant idea. I love teaching and writing howtos.
