Hyprland often needs dependencies which aren't yet cached in `cache.nixos.org`.
Instead of requiring you to build those dependencies (which may include `mesa`,
`ffmpeg`, etc), we provide a Cachix cache that you can add to your Nix
substituters.
The [Hyprland Cachix](https://app.cachix.org/cache/hyprland) exists to cache the
`hyprland` packages and any dependencies not found in `cache.nixos.org`.
{{< hint >}}
In order for Nix to take advantage of the cache, it has to be enabled **before**
enabling the Hyprland module(s) or adding the package.

{{< hint type=important >}}
Overriding Hyprland's `nixpkgs` input
(`inputs.hyprland.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";`) will make the cache
useless, since you're building from a different Nixpkgs commit.
