4.Firealpaca
The last one I'll talk about. Popular on mobile devices but has a desktop version too. The original program is called Firealpaca but it comes in three other varities which are Medibang paint, Jump Paint, and Firealpaca SE (the only one that is a paid version). They all have subtle differences
that I"m going to shorten as such: If you make comics, pick Medibang or Jump paint, If you're interested in animation, pick either of the Firealpacas. aside from that clusterfuck of branding this is a really solid option for drawing. it has the best brush stabilizer, can run on windows, mac, or linux, and is very low on resources, second only Paint Tool SAI. It also has a lot of features that not many programs have, like manga screentones and gradient maps. Not a bad little program at all only real difference between the free and paid versions is if you want to pay 50 bucks for a dark theme, but the devs have promised GPU acceleration in the future which is pretty crazy for such a small team, but the free one is more than enough I think for most artists. Worth checking out at least once.

On the subject of Graphics tablets, holy shit there is like too much to talk about. We've come so far from prehistoric graphires or bamboos, 1024 levels of pressure? try 2k, 4k, 8k, hell even 16k nowadays. We have tilt, buttons, wheels, they come in different colors, it's insane. And we have more options than just Wacom with Huion and XP-Pen. You can actually have a screen tablet for less than 1000 dollars, My Huion Kamvas 13 was only 250 when I bought it a fews years ago and it's still just as good as the day I first got it. I was thinking about upgrading to one of the newer gen 3 models 'cuz they look so cool but I can never justify to myself because there's nothing wrong with the one I have. Good quality construction.

If you actually got through my high-octane rambling I'd be amazed but I hope this was useful to you in some way OP.
