Auto distribution upgrade???

It can. PackageKit zypper backend does equivalent of “zypper dup” on Tumbleweed and standard desktop environments GUI frontends use it. I have KDE and GNOME VM with Tumbleweed and both show update notifications and perform updates.

It is possible that sometimes there is conflict that cannot be resolved automatically - then you need to manually use zypper that offers manual conflict resolution options. But at least you are aware that there are updates

I use daily packagekit-background.timer with the mail notification option:

**erlangen:~ #** grep -v ^\# /etc/sysconfig/packagekit-background 
ENABLED="yes" 
CHECK_ONLY="yes" 
MAILTO="karl" 
SYSTEM_NAME="" 
SLEEP_MAX="1" 
**UPDATE_OFFLINE="no"**
