Will I have a problem with 50mm D lens mounted on Nikon D3400?

I'm a beginner with photography and started only earlier this year. Like most, I started with the kit lens that came with the camera body.

Recently I've been interested in buying a prime lens. The most affordable one I've been seeing in malls is the 50mm Nikkor prime lens with f/1.8. My problem is that it's a D lens and I've read that D lens won't work with the D3400 because the body has no auto focusing motor or something like that.

Is this the only problem that I will encounter? I read that I could still shoot in manual mode, which is fine because that's the only mode I shoot with. I would just like to clarify if this is the only thing I should be worried about. I'm still unfamiliar with the 50mm lens body as of now but I'll get through that once I play with it. Any input is appreciated.
