"desktop" came to mind for me for some reason. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
"desktop-apps/" |
| 11 |
"desktop-libs/" |
| 12 |
"desktop-terms/" |
| 13 |
"desktop-themes/" |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
All appeal more to me than |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
"gui-apps/" |
| 18 |
"gui-libs/" |
| 19 |
"gui-terms/" |
| 20 |
"gui-themes/" |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
"Gui" just seems too vague and generic here, and also feels like |
| 23 |
double-dipping. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
And it will be additionally confusing if any of those apps don't have |
| 26 |
any GUI, like for instance: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
gui-apps/xset |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
That just seems backwards to me. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
desktop-apps/xset |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Alright, I guess. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Maybe a category for non-graphical desktop-related tools should exist |
| 37 |
instead. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
desktop-tools/xset |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
IDK. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I'm not committed to anything I've said here, just food for thought. |
