I need to install the following things:

Krita 3.0.1 (I tried to use the appimage that they provide but I get an error about not finding something like libfuse.so)
xorg wacom tablet drivers

And although this is not quite decided yet, I may or may not need to install
Nvidia Proprietary Drivers and Optirun/Bumblebee (On a laptop)

I know the nvidia thing is in RPMFusion but I'm not sure if I should just add the rpmfusion repository the same way I would on fedora 22 or if there's a qubesos specific approach for it.

My only ideas for getting my hands on the other two packages was to enable some fedora repositories (like rawhide which has the krita package I need) and then install them from there, but I'm not sure if that would be a very good idea. The reason I need krita on dom0 is mostly for the hardware accelerated graphics capability, since it's just a digital painting application I don't see any harm in having it on dom0 and if I run it from a VM it'll of course run slower.

How should I go about achieving this?

Only in part, it answers how package management should be done in Qubes, not how to enable RPMFusion for dom0 nor which repo I should enable to find Krita or Xorg Wacom drivers and even if they are within these repos, no way was provided to search the repo for a package list to find out what the package names are since that varies from distro to distro.

Enabling RPMFusion in dom0 is generally not recommended, but it should be possible if you're willing to accept the risks. I would start by trying doing it in the standard Fedora way (but I haven't tried this myself).

As for searching for packages, you can pass most of the standard yum/dnf commands to qubes-dom0-update. Personally, I like to do the searches (`dnf search`) in an AppVM, then, once I've found the correct package names, install them in dom0 (`qubes-dom0-update package-name`).
