So after another system update it happened again. This time I have intsalled the newest iso available on website. Bought another ssd drive -2 times larger than system partition (just for snapshots & backup purpose). What I have done differently this time - instead of manual creating partitions and seting up boot flags etc , allowed installer to handle that for me.
This way I'm expecting I've got subvolumes created properly.
Will keep posting regarding futher problems with upgrade.
It would seem to me you have a problem with your user’s ID and your group ID being different. IMO both should be 1000.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Users_and_groups
For whatever reason, (my guess would be docker) somehow your gid has been altered. Are you using the guest account, or Multi-booting?
I suggest after reinstalling Garuda you refrain from installing timeshift and docker and then perform your updates. If you are using a more or less stock Garuda install this issue is unlikely to occur IMO, (or it would be commonly reported). It seems to me some misconfiguration on your part is causing this issue or there would be many similar reports, (if it was a Garuda configuration issue at fault).
If it doesn’t happen after a stock Garuda install and couple of update/reboot cycles then this would indicate a user initiated change is creating this problem. After installation only make one change at a time, then update and reboot to isolate the cause of your issue.
Edit:
If performing a new installation, be sure not to use autologin, and do not install the guest account package to limit the variables involved.

Alfter reinstalling what I see currently id looks pretty much the same according to groups:
id
uid=1000(zawier) gid=1001(zawier) groups=1001(zawier),50(games),971(realtime),972(libvirt),985(video),991(lp),992(kvm),994(input),998(wheel),1000(autologin)
Not many apps were installed yet, which is going to change soon. For my curiocity I have checked how it looks like in case of my Ubuntu system :
zawier@Brix-Ubuntu:~$ id
uid=1000(zawier) gid=1000(zawier) groups=1000(zawier),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),120(lpadmin),131(lxd),132(sambashare),136(docker)
So Ubuntu according to your opinion is correct. What’s more I have also docker and timeshift installed there :
zawier@Brix-Ubuntu:~$ docker --version
Docker version 20.10.12, build 20.10.12-0ubuntu4
Timeshift v21.09.1 by Tony George ([email protected])
Bying honest I don’t know why in case of garuda distro my gid and group id are different. During installation of fresh system there literally is nothing what you can change about it. Just simple insert name , host name etc. So there is no my fault the system assigned it that way.
Ok, I will hold on with docker and TS right now until a couples of upgrades. But I just can’t believe that our community doesn’t use that software 
I have read post regarding snapper on our forum and some folks claimed to stick with TS like me.
Ok, that’s weird since autologin is one of the options during installation and I have check it because I’m the only user of that account, so why to bother with login on system start up? Guest account - don’t remember to change anything about. It just exists without my integration.
My first approach included multi booting (grub + linux + windows). But from around 1 year my Linux system is independent (standard grub + garuda). In case when want to select windows system then I turn on windows ssd and turn off garuda ssd (I’m able to achieve it because on my pc front panel has manual switches). So let’s assume I just don’t have a multibooting 
You do you

Here’s an old post of mine explaining how to change the uid/gid to 1000:

Thank you tgb, I'm going to change it, but here comes a questions:
-why on fresh install from newest iso those values are inccorrect while I didn't mess with them?
-do I need stil remove guest account? If yes , then why it's installing by default from installer?
I personally would remove the guest account and install it after you get your system straightened out if you really want it. It is installed by default in case you let others use your computer then they can’t snoop at your stuff. It is for extra security.
Just a complete guess, but I’d speculate it has something to do with Ubuntu being installed on your system.
Are you sharing directories or partitions with Ubuntu? Perhaps the installer detected there was already a user 1000 on the system, and therefore allocated the new user 1001.
Not at all. That’re 2 different machines. The only way they has could connect was either thru sshd or vnc. I wouln’d blame Ubuntu here while it has nothing common here. Faster KDE Connect where my phone is named “zawier” as well. But KDE Connect was set up after I have checked IDs. So the same story like with Ubuntu.
Just curious, what is gid 1000 being used for?
Sorry to post a screenshot of the command; Discourse is giving me a 403 error if I type out the path.

If you do a Whoogle search for "403 site:meta.discourse.org" you will get a ton of hits for discussions about why this happens or how to get around it. Certain words or word combinations appear to trigger 403 for some people but not others, or some forums and not others. I don't understand specifically what triggers it.
In a lot of cases it appears this happens on purpose (precautionary measures against malicious behavior perhaps), but in our example here with /etc/group it just seems strange and unhelpful.

The values are not incorrect, or wrong. It’s only a cosmetic thing, not practical problem. It’s an Admin related issue and you can learn more about it in relevant wiki and man pages.
The only issue you probably have (or had) is permissions to your $HOME folder, especially (if not just only) ~/.Xauthority permissions. This happens when you login your account with sudo from TTY. I don’t know what is exactly your case, but it looks similar.
So, I suggest you read about permissions and how to not break your user account, just for prevention .

Ok, then I have to ask one more time - why on newest iso during installation you won’t change it while it’s easy? Why system allows for a such situation on fresh instance? I have done this time nothing wrong. Just followed by installer…
What do you mean? Yep, in past I’ve logged into TTY but don’t understand here sudo option. You mean for executing commands after login, right?
Tried to follow and here what comes:
╭─zawier@zawier in ~
╰─λ sudo pacman -R systemd-guest-user
[sudo] password for zawier:
error: target not found: systemd-guest-user
In TTY tried as well:
usermod -u 1000 user
groupmod -g 1000 user
In my case output as root in TTY is the same as regular console :
╭─zawier@zawier in ~ as 🧙 took 4s
[🔴] × usermod -u 1000 zawier
usermod: no changes
╭─zawier@zawier in ~ as 🧙 took 2ms
╰─λ groupmod -g 1000 zawier
groupmod: GID '1000' already exists
I have 5 DE Garuda Linux systems here on different hardware installed and I do updates several times a day, not all have the guest user installed but none have your problems.
I have now started a live ISO and the guest user is not enabled by default, id also fits.

SGS I truly believe you You don't have to prove it.
My installer also has proper values:
However something changed my values into:
╰─λ id
uid=1000(zawier) gid=1001(zawier) groups=1001(zawier),50(games),971(realtime),972(libvirt),985(video),991(lp),992(kvm),994(input),998(wheel),1000(autologin)
