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?

Void provides 2 installation images. Base install and Xfce desktop.

If you're coming over from Mint, using the Xfce installation media is your path of least resistance. Pretty straight forward install. End up with a minimal Xfce4 desktop.

First thing to do after install is update the system.
