+        ::: {.note}
+        This module configures Hyprland and adds it to your user's {env}`PATH`,
+        but does not make certain system-level changes. NixOS users should
+        enable the NixOS module with {option}`programs.hyprland.enable`, which
+        makes system-level changes such as adding a desktop session entry.
