What is the best Graphics Tablet for Beginners?

I want to start a youtube animation channel(like swoozie, domics,etc) and wondering what is the best graphic tablet for me. I have always drawn well but have never done it digitally. I just want to start getting into it and see how that goes. Therefore, I dont want to spend so much, my budget is < $90 Im stuck between three options:

XP-PEN Star05-$69.89 https://www.amazon.com/Star05-Wireless-Graphics-Painting-Battery-free/dp/B01MAZ5FDL

Deco01-$59.99 https://www.amazon.com/10x6-25-Graphics-Battery-free-shortcut-pressure/dp/B077P6BQP7

StarG640-$29.99 : https://www.amazon.com/StarG640-Ultrathin-Graphics-Battery-free-pressure/dp/B078YR2MTF

Which do you think is the best option for me? Thank you.

The 8K pressure levels is suspicious in a cheap tablet. If there are there, are they accurate? Gimp usually works best with Wacom tablets (Intuos or Bamboo).

I’ve had very good luck with Huion tablets and Gimp.

I use a Wacom Intuous Small (CTL480). I think it was around 60 EUR when I got it a few years ago. It works perfectly with GIMP (on Debian Stretch currently).

My only complaint is that it doesn't work after I wake up the computer from sleep. I need to unplug/plug the USB cable for the tablet to power up.

Best regards Tomaž

I've got an Intuos that works pretty well on Linux, but I'm also just using it for photo retouching, not drawing, so I don't know how it'll work out for you pressure-level-wise
