Thanks everyone! This is exactly what I wanted to know. I'm thinking that a
pen and tablet will be easier for me to control. And I am also trying to get
away from Windoze.

Subject: Re: [HOT] Using a pen tablet for mapping input
I have been using a Wacom Intuos CTL-490 (probably the cheapest Wacom
available, around USD110 here) combined with JOSM and its FastDraw plugin for
over a year now. All of this in Ubuntu(Gnome) 16.04.
They work great together, specially if you want to map forests, woods,
reservoirs, riverbanks and any other large polygon. Take into consideration
that you will have to tune the preferences of the FastDraw plugin to balance
node density and shape quality. You do not want to make something with an
excesive number of nodes but at the same time you want to take advantage of the
level of detail that the pen alows you to get.
Hope this helps you.

Does anyone know if it is possible to use a pen tablet input device, ideally in
ubuntu, to do the mapping for the missing maps? If so, can anyone recommend a
specific tablet?
