Hello there .
I am using as my OS devuan gnu+linux .
The point is I like philosophy of Unix using like tmux + nvim + mutt .
and I love the vi keybings so much ..

Sometimes I am thinking to switch to gnu emacs .. but I feel that I will find some difficulties
and I am afraid .

Is there a easy way to use emacs ?
can someone help or give me some YT videos to watch to have a good idea about emacs ?

Emacs is at least on the surface orthogonal to the Unix philosophy. It's a programmable interface to a computer. Instead of remixing a bunch of fixed tools using bash pipes and arguments, you do most of your lightweight automation and integrations in Emacs Lisp.
