Edit: "Updating to the legacy 580xx drivers doesn't show me a desktop anymore", just in case someone else can stumble upon this by searching something similar.

Thanks to @deadcade@lemmy.deadca.de and @Ooops@feddit.org I did try fixing it out of curiosity. I had forgotten to install linux-headers. Hopefully someone who actually has the same problem as me, and needs to fix it, can use the tips given in the comments. On my end, I just had to install linux-headers and one reboot later it worked.

Always check if you have all needed packages and don't just "remember" that you had them installed.

Mr. Incredible meme format where his face goes from happy to more and more concerned at each section. The text for each section is as follows: Section 1; Arch has the nvidia-open drivers now, dropping pascal support. Section 2; You still use a 10xx series nvidia card. Section 3; You forgot to install the legacy drivers and have already updated. Section 4; Your GUI doesn't show up anymore. Section 5; Installing the legacy drivers through TTY doesn't help.

OP has a pascal GPU, the Nouveau kernel drivers for pascal (which you need for nvk) aren't really suitable because they can't change the clock at runtime, you are stuck at boot clock (which you can configure)
