I program in C and python, and even good first issue problems seem like I have to be Dennis Ritchie himself to solve them. How do I know when I’m ready to solve and commit to projects?

When choosing a bug, if you start with one that is possible to reproduce, it might help following the instructions to reproduce it while debugging the app and observe what happens. This can be a way to start understanding how it all runs. Bugs without context or hard to reproduce are usually more complicated and you might need a better knowledge of the code to have an idea of where to look.
