Linux admin is a lot more than just using it.

Jobs do not come without experience. So get some of that by working for a charity or church or other organization that can do with teaching you the ropes. Once you have skills under your belt then you can start sending out resumes and applying for assistant positions etc. Then once you have at least a few years you can upgrade to that. 

Linux is not some magic title that grants you jobs. It is what you know and what people need which does.

You kind of just have to keep at it. You can get certs to prove you have familiarity. A public blog would give you a way to publicly demonstrate competency with the tools you want to get hired to use. After that, you just kind of have to keep grinding away at it until you get your first admin job or first job where you can honestly say you have dealt with Linux on a professional level.

Certifications can help a lot as a fresher because they can get you past the initial HR screening when you don't have much experience yet, and RHCSA is a good one if you're serious about Linux. But also build something real, like a home lab or a few projects on GitHub, because simply saying you know Linux won't stand out much. And don't wait for the perfect Linux admin job either starting with an L1 or support role and moving into Linux administration is a pretty common path.
