Being bad at C (and family) does not mean you can not write 'Linux programs', just pick any other language of choice and start writing. Recently the .Net family has been added, before that Mono made a valiant attempt at supporting it but those have been preceded (and might be succeeded) by a lengthy list of languages in which 'Linux programs' can be written, from BASIC to Haskell, from Python to Ocaml, from Fortran to Lisp, take your pick.
