-      The nixGL command that `lib.nixGL.wrap` should wrap packages with.
-      This can be used to provide libGL access to applications on non-NixOS systems.
+      The [nixGL](https://github.com/nix-community/nixGL) command that `lib.nixGL.wrap` should prefix
+      package binaries with. nixGL provides your system's version of libGL to applications, enabling
+      them to access the GPU on non-NixOS systems.
 
-      Wrap individual packages like so: `(config.lib.nixGL.wrap <package>)`. The returned package
-      can be used just like the original one, but will have access to libGL. If this option is empty (the default),
-      then `lib.nixGL.wrap` is a no-op. This is useful on NixOS, where the wrappers are unnecessary.
+      Wrap individual packages which require GPU access with the function like so: `(config.lib.nixGL.wrap <package>)`.
+      The returned package can be used just like the original one, but will have access to libGL. For example:
+
+      ```nix
+      # If you're using a Home Manager module to configure the package,
+      # pass it into the module's package argument:
+      programs.kitty = {
+        enable = true;
+        package = (config.lib.nixGL.wrap pkgs.kitty);
+      };
+
+      # Otherwise, pass it to any option where a package is expected:
+      home.packages = [ (config.lib.nixGL.wrap pkgs.hello) ];
+      ```
+
+      If this option is empty (the default), then `lib.nixGL.wrap` is a no-op. This is useful for sharing your Home Manager
+      configurations between NixOS and non-NixOS systems, since NixOS already provides libGL to applications without the
+      need for nixGL.
