So i was thinking about to give OpenBSD a try to see if it could fit a minimalist user like me. I know it’s not made for desktop users, which is not my case(i use Dwm, a limited amount of packages and tweaking my system dosn’t scare me).

If you want even finer grained control over your software then I recommend staying on the GNU/Linux systemd train and trying out NixOS which may be more valuable for an Arch user than switching to OpenBSD.
NixOS will still continue to teach you a lot about package management and operating systems while you build up a portfolio of a reproducible (not bit by bit) fully custom operating system that you can deploy on any compatible machine. DWM can be configured via Nix quite ingeniously using a flake, the fun part is learning enough to get to there. NixOS can be even more minimalist than Arch if you write your config tightly enough.
