Ask HN: What lesser-known accessories do you use with your computer?
I have an XP-Pen as well. Works great in Linux. I'm still amazed at how high quality these non-Wacom tablets are today. I had one of those cheap 6" Wacom Graphites back in the early 2000s and that was the best you could get. My XP-Pen blows that thing away. Still haven't found a great place to put it though. I'm just stashing it off to the side but it's awkward moving it around all the time.
If you're on Linux, Gromit-MPX is a great companion app to annotate anything on your desktop. https://github.com/bk138/gromit-mpx

Image viewer with annotations (etc add rectangle)
I use Gromit-MPX. With it you can toggle "painting mode" with a hotkey (e.g. F9), making your screen essentially a big whiteboard on which you can draw in various colors and thiccnessess.

how to install xfce4-appmenu-plugin on Fedora
Hi, I'm stuck trying to install the XFCE global menu. I tried every different coprs things to no avail, I even tried building it from the github repo, but it gets stuck at "meson.build:77:0: ERROR: Dependency "libxfce4panel-2.0" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake" (libxfce4panel is installed) and setting the prefix to /usr/lib64/xfce4/panel like the guide told me didn't work

How can I get the menubar in Firefox, and a few other aps, into the panel?
it seems like appmenu-gtk-module was a subproject of vala and has been long abandoned... or at least nothing has changed for over 2 years... https://github.com/rilian-la-te/vala-panel-appmenu/tree/master/subprojects/appmenu-gtk-module

How to actually enable global menu in xfce?
For Chromium-based browsers, the guide suggests also installing libdbusmenu-glib, libdbusmenu-gtk3, libdbusmenu-gtk2. appmenu-qt4 is no longer available and Qt5 will work out of the box.

Is it possible to look like this on XFCE?
Check out https://github.com/rilian-la-te/vala-panel-appmenu - that's what I use Depends on your distro, there's a really nice AUR package, but yeah the Readme has instructions for different distros. I don't know if there are ready made packages for other distros or if you have to compile from source.
