I want to know what kind of apps/programs y'all recommend to people or just use personally. This is just in general, could be anything from a game to a media codec. I personally use Linux but stuff for other operating systems is welcome too.

Krita (without any kind of unnecessary unsupported and unofficial AI plugins btw). It's one of the few free programs that I like so much I paid for them.

I've also been getting a lot of mileage out of Tiny Media Manager.

Would you say that Krita is suitable for a beginner, especially with a little knowledge of traditional drawing?

I wouldn't recommend learning to draw from scratch digitally no matter what software, but if you're not a complete beginner and you're willing to experiment with its functions, I don't see why not. There's a large helpful community and lots of tutorials too.
