+===== Qt Update Notifier =====
+The behavior of qt-update-notifier is different than that by simple-update-notifier.
+First of all, it waits 5 minutes to signal that there are updates, the icon from green with check turns orange with exclamation mark, clicking on it with the right mouse opens a drop-down menu (it is not possible to make updates from there but you still need to open synaptic which remains the "prince" tool for managing packages).
+However you choose "open synaptic", then you need to reload the cache (reload), click on updates->mark all updates->apply.

+Also from the drop-down menu it is possible to check the log of the updates, practically synaptic history, silence qt-update-notifier or even mark that the updates have been done... until the next reboot, of course.
+The good news is that it's less invasive compared to simple-update-notifier, it operates daily and not every x
+minutes, or hours.
+Possibly always from the drop-down menu it is possible force control manually, more useful for developers than for individual users.
