C or C++, which is better to learn and improve upon for a goal of
contributing to open source projects, writing linux drivers, helping with
linux and FOSS in general?
It depends on the sort of projects you want to work on. C++ would be good if you want to work primarily on X (CUI) applications. KDE, for example, is largely C++ based. On the other hand, if you really want to write drivers, or other low-level software, C is what you want.
If you're not sure, I'd suggest starting with C. It's a smaller, less complex language; and general knowledge of C will be useful in many Linux/Unix contexts.
