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.

How to make money with Linux (non coder) (lemdro.id)

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?

Do you know if OP has certifications or experience?

Lol

Are you sure you've read the OP?

I personally would much prefer to be introduced to a new subject (like BASH101) by someone who has zero certifications but some experience and a real ability to teach.

Because I have seen a lot of super certified teachers who ends up unable to teach anything and who are recycling the same course without any practical experience in the last decade.

I don't disagree with that, but again I think you're in a wrong post. Op never said that they're so experienced but just lack certifications. What I've understood is that OP is just a power user with no other experience, neither from a job, nor from personal hobbies but on production live environments

And that being said, please explain me how you end up making such assumptions about OP's skills and what did they say that made you feel that you know about their level of knowledge.

It's the opposite, I don't make any assumptions on OP's knowledge but my understanding of your comment is that you are assuming that he is just the average Joe that likes Linux but might not be able to teach on the subject.

I just told him that teaching is an avenue he could look into and he agreed. Nothing more here.
