When I tried to test Howde(-git) in the terminal, I got the following error and couldn’t test it.
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display :0
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin “xcb” in “” even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
I got the same result when I ran the following command.
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
export DISPLAY=:0
Thanks for your help!
Does it need sudo privileges?
If so, try:
sudo -E <package name>

try to sudo -E Howdy test
qt.qpa.theme.dbus: Session DBus not runing.
qt.qpa.theme.dbus: Application will not react to setting changes.
Check your DBus installation.

Please post your garuda-inxi as requested by the template.
Try:
sudo dbus-launch howdy test
howdy-git OOTB should work on all standard Linux distributions, (I tested it briefly with Garuda Dr460nized in a VM w/o issues) but Garuda Linux Hyprland does not belong to this category. Garuda Hyprland is for advanced users only, and not all QT and Python packages are preinstalled, as is the case with Garuda Dr460nized, for example.
I have only briefly and superficially looked at the constellation Garuda Hyprland + Howdy but not tested it, therefore no guarantee of correctness - so do this at your own risk. If the above command does not work, try installing python-pyqt5 and python-pyqt5-sip and see if howdy-git works with them.
