I would like to create some free and open source linux software, but I'm not sure where to start. Any recommendations? I'm fine with learning any programming language.
... you want to create software that is able to run on a Linux OS?
It depends on what your software should do..
You could write a shell script
Maybe you could do without GUI (like a device driver, voice recognition, a command line tool)
Or maybe you need a GUI..
Almost all, if not all, Linux distros come with the GCC compiler installed. All you need is a text editor to write the code.
Lots of examples on the Internet if you search but start by writing some simple 'C' code and practice using the compiler.
You should start with what the software should be and do.
The mechanics don't matter so much, and the end goal
should inform choice of tools and what learning ends up
being needed.
However if your goal is education and eventual employability
then you may want to center your goal and your tools
around something that the market wants, and is achievable.
A little "app" that works, being a better "sales pitch" than
a big one that never gets done....
