How simple is this program to use, I am moving to linux and while novie just want to start using my pc for pc things like storing my pictures.
This software is more meant to be ran in a server environment, it’s suppose to be a replacement to cloud storage. I would not recommend you run this on desktop you use daily as it’ll consume resources in the background potentially slowing your desktop down.
Once you get a grasp on the BASH shell I would suggest playing around with docker and docker compose in a headless environment (headless = no desktop environment, shell only)
There are docker script and docker compose installs. It was basically reading the documents and Editting a few text files and launching it in docker. Hardest part I found was the face tagging, it was totally counter intuitive to assign a face and persons name. Like almost obfuscated. Once you set that up though it just does its thing superbly well

If you are talking about using Linux on a desktop, then use DigiKam for photo management. It is far more advanced, because it is a desktop application and been around a lot longer.
You could have a workflow of a desktop environment AND immich on the server for the best of what they both offer.
