I have an even older small Wacom - a Volito2 - still works. At least with linux there is a chance of some support

I can not really give any advice as to best size of tablet, the only one I use is that small 4" x 5" model.
What does come up on the forum is lack of functionality from 'other brands' usually for pressure-opacity. These types often cheap or large size for small cost, such as Huion or XP Pen. Might be OK if all you use the tablet for is an extended mouse but be careful, always sold as PS / Mac compatible, very rarely does linux and Gimp get a mention.
