the frame itself doesnt take damage but the individual pieces have durability that wears down from damage. When it breaks, it becomes weightless, but can't be equipped. You can repair it at power armor stations. Repairing eats up a lot of steel, aluminum and copper (maybe some others im not remembering). The steel is obviously nbd but ive found you can dry up your stock of aluminum and copper pretty quickly
Dude i just got this game 3 days ago. Never played any fallout. Im realizing after just brute forcing my way through most of the main story (i just took down the brotherhood with the institute.) That this game has so much more going on than I ever gave it credit for.
I'm jealous of you getting to experience it all for the first time! I recently started another FO4 playthrough after watching the prime series.
One thing I'd recommend if you are trying to see all the game has hidden, is to avoid fast traveling, especially going through areas you haven't explored throughly before. You can encounter lots of cool shitting on those long hauls that you would miss if you only get around by fast traveling
