Not sure of your circumstances, but couldn't you use ctrl + alt + F1 (or 3, 4, 5, 6), to get into a tty?
Btw, did the upgrade with the new packages, everything works, thanks Artix team!

One would think that, but for some reason, I could not.

It may be related to the fact that this is a compact keyboard where some idiot designer put the media keys as the primary assignment and one has to press FN to get the actual F-keys.
Since Plasma was broken, maybe the keyboard handling was, too.
I don't know.
All I know is that I had no alternative TTY, no live medium at hand, GRUB's fallback entry was broken as well and using sh as init was barely functional.

Not a good place to be in. XD
