I used to do some systems programming with then M2 Amiga Modula-2 compiler. They had a complete mapping to the systems libraries and I suppose for the general learning experience M2 is more pleasant than C, although that works as well, of course. There was quite a lot of M2 public domain software at that time on the Amiga so that it should be possible to find good examples. That said, system programming on the Amiga is for good or bad much closer to the hardware than e.g Linux, so prepare to see a lot of guru meditations along the way when you have slightly mishandled a pointer or a data type, and there are a lot of pointers ;-) Great fun though.
