Switching to TTY from GUI yields a black screen without any text or login prompt

Hi,
Thanks, you too.

That can be ignored.

Have you enabled KMS?

This would probably have been handed down in pacnews, but here is the guide:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_mode_setting#Early_KMS_start

Make sure that kms is included in the HOOKS and nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm is included in the MODULES of /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

Additionally for DRM KMS set nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 on the CMDLINE in /etc/default/grub.

After both both of those configurations run

sudo mkinitcpio -P
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

And reboot.

PS.

If its true you have not managed your pacnews here is the wiki for that:
