I must say that because it looks like those two hooked echother. When friend who installed me this get up this morning he'll text me which exact garuda this is.
Please edit your posts.
Wayfire???
I’m sorry, but why does a core component that is installed in Garuda by default not exist?
Edit: because Wayfire and Lxqt editions don’t use it.

Nope. Not his fault.
Sorry, we most definitely don’t provide 3rd party support. Your friend installed it? Let your friend support it.

It seems so.
How does network and NM work on wayfire?

Wayfire + sway + lxqt use
Connman + iwd for networking
To connect to wifi
You can use connman-gtk
app on wayfire and sway
For lxqt you can use

Hi, I have the same issue and a very similar error message, even though it seems like me and OP don't share the DE (I'm on Sway).
My error message:
Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified
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.
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.
fish: Job 1, 'sudo garuda-network-assistant' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)
I also tried setting QT_QPA_PLATFORM to either xcb or wayland;xcb but it didn't help.

Not sure how related that is, but I also had some WiFi issues - it sometimes disconnects and I can't get it to detect any network. It usually resolves itself after some time. I did see an advice to stop MAC address randomization, so I followed it and we'll see if it helps.
Why are you running it with sudo ?
Umm, when I don't I see a pop up window telling me that you must run this program as root, so I do.
Other Garuda settings software doesn't require me to, though.
Right, but why did you run it with sudo in the first place? Did you just think "oh, here's a command, I'll run it with sudo and see what it does to my system" ? Or was there an actual reason for it?
Did you try it without sudo?
I definitely remember that a few days ago, shortly after installing Garuda, I was able to open the GNA from both the GUI launcher and the terminal, and I believe that when I did that I didn't use sudo. I've been using Linux for a few years now, so I definitely try to minimize sudos whenever I can.
I didn't change anything with respect to my network stack before WiFi and GNA started failing, and since then I only changed that single MAC address randomization line in /etc.
And what happens when you try to open if from a terminal now (without sudo)?
I already answered that above - I said that a pop up window tells me that garuda-network-assistant can only be run as root.

Argh. I missed the second “I” so I read it as “when I don’t see a pop up window”, hence my initial confusion as to why you would run a command with sudo for no apparent reason, whereas there is a clear reason for it. OK.
Can you try running it with
pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY="$HOME/.Xauthority" garuda-network-assistant
?

It did ask me for sudo permissions and after entering my password it gave me the same error:

OK, so I reckon this is most likely related to Wayland.
Which Wayland-related packages do you have installed? e.g. is qt5-wayland installed?

Yup. Reinstalling it with sudo pacman -S qt5-wayland didn't solve the issue.
╭─hagai@MostlyHarmess in ~

A quick update - I managed to open connman-gtk, which I guess is a subset of the network assistant? Anyways, what I did was to run it without the tray icon: connman-gtk --no-icon, as the tray icon seems to have a Wayland-related bug. In the connman-gtk settings I made sure that it doesn't open to the tray only, and now I can run it without the flag.
The GNA is still not working though, and I believe that my WiFi issues will persist even after I fixed the GTK frontend, but we'll see about that.
