+# apt-desktop-upgrades
+
+The `unattended-upgrades` package is really useful for servers, but I've found
+that a reasonable amount of desktop software doesn't play well to being replaced
+*in situ*, while a user is using the desktop.
+
+This package is designed to handle desktop upgrades by checking for and
+downloading package upgrades in the background as they become available, and
+then applying those upgrades on reboot via the [systemd Offline Updates][]
+functionality.
