You don't need to be or transition to a Sysadmin to eventually move to Devops. You can easily find a Jr devops position as long as you have some familiarity with the above. But do whatever you can to get off the help desk. Its cool if you like it, but the sooner you move onto something else is one step closer to where you want to be.

I just heard Devops was very hot and high pay, and I was always interested in Linux, but coding is not my strength to be honest. And according to my friend, coding is not majority for Devops.
DevOps toolchain As DevOps is a truly cross-functional mode of working, there is no single "DevOps tool": it is rather a set (or "toolchain") of multiple tools.[13] DevOps tools tend to fit into one or more of these categories, reflective of key aspects of the development and delivery process:[14][15] Code — code development and review, source code management tools, code merging Build — continuous integration tools, build status Test — continuous testing tools that provide feedback on business risks Package — artifact repository, application pre-deployment staging Release — change management, release approvals, release automation Configure — infrastructure configuration and management, Infrastructure as Code tools Monitor — applications performance monitoring, end–user experience While there are many tools available, certain categories are essential in a DevOps toolchain; especially containerization (e.g. Docker), continuous integration (e.g. Jenkins), infrastructure as code (e.g. Puppet) and platform virtualization (e.g. Vagrant).[16][17]
