Same, I set it up a few years ago and both me and my partner have been using it since then with no issues at all, it's completely replaced Google Photos for us.
We've also set up immich-frame and repurposed an old Google Nest hub to use as a digital photo frame.
Immich-frame has been on my todo list for a while. Need to get on that.
I've written a python script that fetches a random image from an immich album using its API, every 30 seconds and sets it as my media pc (Ubuntu) wallpaper. Serves as a frame when no windows are open. Recently updated the code to fetch images only when the desktop has mouse focus, to save unnecessary HDD reads when I'm watching something.
