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 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.

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.
