If you mean a drawing tablet, I also vouch for Krita. It's free and open source, so you can use it right away however you'd like. It has all the general tools you'd expect for drawing with a tablet and plenty of resources and documentation too!
If you mean something like an android tablet, I do see a build of Krita on F-Droid (a FOSS only app store), but I haven't ever tried it. Barring that or iPad maybe ibisPaint? It's proprietary but free to access basic tools, and could get you started exploring and creating.
No, not everything is for everyone. I do not like drawing. The same way you probably are not going to like decoding a protocol some device used to communicate with its parts by looking at tons of ones and zeros and trying to find patterns that can be traced back to certain variables.

Which app is a good place to start on a tablet?

Krita?
(I'm not an artist. I can barely do stick art.)

I don't have a tablet, but I use ibisPaint on my phone.

Depends, krita is good for drawing as is gimp. If you want to make SVGs (scalable vector graphics) I reccomend inkscape.
