# 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.
