#NodeMCU ESP-12 board not even detected by Arch

Works on Windows. The cable is a data cable, and everything on the board works. Connecting it to my Arch Linux machine does absolutely nothing. Not detected as a serial device at all, and my Arduino IDE can't figure it out either.

[will@arch Downloads]$ ls /dev/ttyUSB*
ls: cannot access '/dev/ttyUSB*': No such file or directory

Most posts I've seen about this say it's a problem with the cable, and that linux should support this device by default (clearly, it doesn't for me). My kernel is completely up to date, which is made even more clear by the fact that it can't even install the driver for the board for Linux, which uses deprecated code from 8 years ago.

I am losing my mind.

The device name may be ttyACM not ttyUSB
