“Doesn’t help” is a bit unspecific for an actual answer.
I simply installed nvidia-580xx-dkms and nvidia-580xx-utils and that was all. If you did not already use the dkms-driver package before you of course also need <yourkernel>-headers and dkms (but the latter should be pulled as a dependency for nvidia-580xx-dkms anyway)…
Which automatically asks for the removal of nvidia-open (the standard package for the base linux kernel) or nvidia-open-dkms and nvidia-open-utils that replaced the earlier nvidia, nvidia-dkms, nvidia-utils packages when 590 hit.
PS: If you still have stuff using 32bit add (you might have guessed the scheme by now…) lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils to replace lib32-nvidia-open-utils
This is the way. I will edit the text of the meme to show the solution at the top. As I had said to another commenter, I could’ve sworn I had linux-headers installed. This is why you check even if you are sure you have a package. Hopefully someone having this issue will stumble upon it randomly.

Dropping an extensive explanation and how-to is a meme.
Honestly I would’ve much more appreciated it if they told me to RTFM /j (I already had) (I didn’t pay the slightest attention)
