+Hyprland plugins are managed differently on Nix than on other distros. The most
+notable change is that `hyprpm` is unsupported, but we have our own way of
+building plugins.
+
+## Using plugins from Nixpkgs
+
+In Nixpkgs, there are Hyprland plugins packaged for the Hyprland version in
+Nixpkgs. You can use them like this:
+
+```nix
+{pkgs, ...}: {
+  wayland.windowManager.hyprland.plugins = [
+    pkgs.hyprlandPlugins.<plugin>
+  ];
+}
+```
+
+You can find which plugins are included using
+`nix search nixpkgs#hyprlandPlugins`.
+
+## hyprland-plugins
+
+Official plugins made/maintained by vaxry.
+
+To use these plugins, it is recommended that you are already using the Hyprland
+flake, and **not** the Nixpkgs version.
+
+First, add the flake to your flake inputs:
+
+```nix
+{
+  inputs = {
+    hyprland.url = "git+https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland?submodules=1";
+
+    hyprland-plugins = {
+      url = "github:hyprwm/hyprland-plugins";
+      inputs.hyprland.follows = "hyprland";
+    };
+
+    # ...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The `inputs.hyprland.follows` line makes hyprland-plugins use the exact Hyprland
+revision you have locked. This means there aren't any version mismatches, as
+long as you update both inputs at once.
+
+The next step is adding the plugins to Hyprland:
+
+```nix
+{inputs, pkgs, ...}: {
+  wayland.windowManager.hyprland = {
+    enable = true;
+
+    plugins = [
+      inputs.hyprland-plugins.packages.${pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system}.<plugin>
+    ];
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Building plugins with Nix
+
+The plugins inside Nixpkgs, as well as the ones in `hyprland-plugins`, are built
+using a general function, `mkHyprlandPlugin`. Any plugin can be made to work
+with it. The general usage is presented below, exemplified through hy3's
+derivation:
+
+```nix
+{pkgs, ...}: {
+  hy3 = pkgs.callPackage ({
+    lib,
+    fetchFromGitHub,
+    cmake,
+    hyprland,
+    hyprlandPlugins,
+  }:
+    hyprlandPlugins.mkHyprlandPlugin pkgs.hyprland {
+      pluginName = "hy3";
+      version = "0.39.1";
+
+      src = fetchFromGitHub {
+        owner = "outfoxxed";
+        repo = "hy3";
+        rev = "hl0.39.1";
+        hash = "sha256-PqVld+oFziSt7VZTNBomPyboaMEAIkerPQFwNJL/Wjw=";
+      };
+
+      # any nativeBuildInputs required for the plugin
+      nativeBuildInputs = [cmake];
+
+      # set any buildInputs that are not already included in Hyprland
+      # by default, Hyprland and its dependencies are included
+      buildInputs = [];
+
+      meta = {
+        homepage = "https://github.com/outfoxxed/hy3";
+        description = "Hyprland plugin for an i3 / sway like manual tiling layout";
+        license = lib.licenses.gpl3;
+        platforms = lib.platforms.linux;
+        maintainers = with lib.maintainers; [aacebedo];
+      };
+    });
+}
+```
+
+In a similar manner to `stdenv.mkDerivation`, `mkHyprlandPlugin` takes an
+attrset with mostly the same options as `mkDerivation`, as it is essentially a
+wrapper around it.
+
+The exception is that it also takes a `hyprland` package before the attrset, in
+case you want to build with a different package than the one in Nixpkgs.
+
+This is not always the best way to build for a different version, and it is
+recommended that you use an overlay to apply your desired Hyprland package in
+Nixpkgs instead.
