From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Break how? As in the photos aren't organized, or we just nuked your entire library?

Check release notes before you upgrade and see what it's going to break. Immich introduces breaking changes quite often at this point.

As in "While the photos are still in your storage, the DB is gone for good and a manual reimport from the existing files is not possible, so you have three options:

Restoring the DB from a working backup
Reinstalling and reuploading the data
Reinstalling and importing the existing data as external libraries - which will lead to duplicates in your users galleries as soon as their devices sync themselves with Immich"

Honestly, you really don't want options 2 and 3. Just make sure you've got good backups of everything. My DB is backed up daily and I keep periodic backups for up to three years just to be sure.
