I would like to try some simple graphics programming on Linux --

you could do with Turbo C on DOS in the 1980's.

What would be the easiest system to do this? Should I learn Java?
Or something else?

Personally, I only program in two languages: Fortran and Python.  So I
would suggest python.

Hey! I didn't know that! Did you see that the originator of Fortran John Backus:

recently died? I used to see him around when I was at IBM Research.
