I try to fix it using sudo apt --fix-broken intall which gives this result:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Correcting dependencies... failed.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
cpp-x86-64-linux-gnu : Breaks: cpp (< 4:13.2.0-3) but 4:11.2.0-1ubuntu1 is installed
gcc-14-base : Breaks: gcc-14-base:i386 (!= 14.2.0-4ubuntu2) but 14.2.0-4ubuntu2~24.04 is installed

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies
Doing sudo dpkg --configure -a gives this:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of gcc-14-locales: gcc-14-locales depends on cpp-14 (>= 14); however: Package cpp-14 is not installed.dpkg: error processing package gcc-14-locales (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured dpkg: error processing package gcc-14-base:amd64 (--configure): package gcc-14-base:amd64 14.2.0-4ubuntu2 cannot be configured because gcc-14-base:i386 is at a different version (14.2.0-4ubuntu2~24.04) Errors were encountered while processing: gcc-14-locales gcc-14-base:amd64
So I do sudo apt install cpp-14 and it leads me back to the beginning

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
I have literally no idea how to correct this as I'm fairly new to ubuntu, and it's also mentioning that before upgrading to ubuntu 24 I used rsync to copy the /usr/ directory from my pc to my laptop (which is having issues) but while on ubunutu 22 there were no issues.
edit: I tried sudo dpkg -i '/home/(user)/Downloads/gcc-14-aarch64-linux-gnu-base_14.2.0-4ubuntu2~24.04cross1_amd64.deb' which gave this output:

g++ -v returns basically the same thing:
