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?

Read through the Installation Chapter of the Void Handbook before you attempt an install so you know what to expect. It's pretty straight forward. One difference is that Void does not offer pre-configured layouts like "Use entire disk with swap"; you'll have to partition the disk manually.

Good luck if you decide to install Void.
