I can only say “good luck”. It is not an easy distro. Though if the apps you use are available as flatpaks, you may be fine.

Not easy to install or not easy to maintain? Or do you mean like a lack of packages

Installation is pretty easy if you choose the Xfce version. The system is stable but many things in it (such as the init system) are unpopular which makes the learning curve very steep. The repo doesn’t have that many packages so you have to rely on Flatpak (or Snap but idk if it works on Void) for software support. Hardware support and drivers may be an issue because of that as well.

I think Void is much easier to maintain than Arch. And I was on Arch for 4 years. Runit is super simple too.
