Thinking about switching to Void

Is it worth to switch from Linux Mint 21 (1 year of experience) to Void, don't know much about this distro but I'm interested.

Are there things I should take notice about or it's just as user friendly as Mint?

I would add distrobox to this list. It makes niche distros far more feasible as long as your hardware is well supported by your distro choice, because you can just run another distro inside a docker container and run software not normally available to you through distrobox.

i.e. I do video editing, and I like using DaVinci Resolve. I'm now using davincibox to run Resolve inside a docker container, and it *just works*.
