Arch boots to black screen after system update

I updated my system using pacman -Syu, and after a reboot my screen is just black (no desktop environment). Pressing ctrl + alt + f1 gets me to this point in the image:

you should do some research and for the mean time

for the mean time you can use

/usr/lib/plasma-dbus-run-session-if-needed /usr/bin/startplasma-wayland

from terminal to manually start plasma
