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?
Typical onboarding scenario is to start at low level and climb up. Apply for helpdesk positions in companies with linux infrastructure. But the game is currently moving towards devops, so I would suggest you add some knowledge like ansible and terraform in your repertoire.
You can try to enroll into Linux Foundation Certified Sysadmin course. It is quite a respectable certification. Try to have some practice every day as well.
I’m sure someone will correct me but I believe 90% of professional Linux is done at a commandline, DEs are mostly for personal use
It’s a useful skill to have for a number of different jobs but usually not the primary one as most techies have some working Linux knowledge anyway
Developers, pentesters, system architects and similar
Buy a rpi 4 and use it to do a livestream of (pretty much anything you want).
Thanks but not sure what you mean. Livestream what? Any examples?
I think OP is saying become a streamer but use Linux instead of windows or mac.
I mean even with devops or sysadmin you usually want to write scripts that take care of deployment, automated tests or various housekeeping chores that are to time intensive or error prone when done manually. So it really hangs on how much of a “non-coder” you consider yourself as.
I mean scripts as in a block of code that when activated terminates on its own, they can get quite large and arbitrarily complex particularly when interacting with several different components.
