11 Pedants will note that UI (user interface) and UX (user experience) are
12 different things and for the described purpose of package categories,

15 ui-apps: Don't all "apps" have UIs, whether X11, Wayland, ncurses, slang,

17 ux-apps: What does this even mean? UX refers to the way a user interacts
18 with an application, not the application itself.
