Thanks for the pointer! Some suggestions on wording:
| wrapper program like [`nixGL`] or [`nix-gl-host`] that sets up the correct | ||
| OpenGL driver paths, or use a more permanent solution like | ||
| [`nix-system-graphics`]. | ||
| [`nix-system-graphics`] or enabling the GPU on [`non-nixos`] systems. |

It reads a bit awkwardly as-is, so I would suggest rewording the entire paragraph to read more like:
There are multiple ways to fix this: if you use Home Manager, you can modify your system and put your graphics drivers where they are located on NixOS, or wrap your programs and point them at the correct drivers.
If you use neither NixOS nor Home Manager, you can also use standalone wrapper tools like
nixGL,nix-gl-hostandnix-system-graphics, who all achieve the same end goal in slightly different ways.

Thanks that reads so much better. Updated.
With the issue nix-community/home-manager#8033 and it's PR nix-community/home-manager#8057 completed `Home Manager` now supports a more general solution for using the ghostty package on non-NixOS systems. Re-write the "Nix on other distros" section with the extra information on how to use ghostty as a nix package on non-NixOS systems.

This came as an add-on after nix-community/home-manager#3968
