Hello @Theogren and welcome to the forum. Nice to hear that you got your problem fixed. Normally we refrain from “necro-ing” solved threads, but as you are new here, you wouldn’t know that, so all is fine.
Yes, cachyos-rate-mirrors followed by a full system upgrade by sudo pacman -Syu fixes a lot of problems for us 
Sometimes, you may have to wait a day or two, so you might want to check out ways of restoring your system should an update really mess with things.
CachyOS is definitely a good choice, just be prepared that you need to be willing to delve into things to understand how your OS works, what it is and what it is not. Have fun and don’t hesitate to ask.
