I tried to learn about reaver wifi and while and working and trying it I used 1 command I can't remember it but after that the wifi is unavailable
and software and lots of programs closing immediately when open it
Any clues from logs?
in terminal ,if you press the up arrow repeatedly , it shows the previous commands typed.
maybe if you see the command it'll jog your memory.
or simply type history in terminal and it'll show the last 1000 commands typed

Sorry for being lazy, Brave A.I. solution:
Reaver prevents wifi from working in ubuntu 22.04 - how to resolve
Reaver, a wireless cracking tool, can interfere with your WiFi connection in Ubuntu 22.04. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
- Stop Reaver: If Reaver is currently running, terminate the process to release the occupied wireless interface. You can do this by finding the process ID using
ps aux | grep reaverand then killing it withkill <process_id>. - Disable Reaver’s wireless interface: Reaver often binds to a specific wireless interface (e.g.,
wlp2s0mon). Disable this interface by runningip link set wlp2s0mon down(replacewlp2s0monwith your actual interface name). - Reset the wireless interface: Restart the wireless interface to clear any residual configuration:
sudo ip link set wlp2s0mon up(again, replacewlp2s0monwith your actual interface name). - Verify WiFi connectivity: Attempt to connect to your WiFi network using the usual methods (e.g.,
nmclior the Ubuntu Network Manager applet).
If the issue persists, you may need to:
- Uninstall Reaver: Completely remove Reaver and its dependencies to prevent future conflicts. Be cautious when doing so, as this may also remove other useful tools.
- Reconfigure your WiFi settings: Ensure that your WiFi settings are correct and up-to-date. You can do this by reviewing your network configuration files (e.g.,
/etc/network/interfacesor/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf) and adjusting them as needed.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the conflict between Reaver and your WiFi connection in Ubuntu 22.04.
You need to run System Monitor and if not showing, select the running processes tab. Look for reaver and then look to the column which gives the process id. When you find it, follow this guide:

Yeah, that's what you get when you want to crack someone else's Wi-Fi, you crack your own system 
For that things he should stick to the Kali live session, not Zorin.

I was just trying to learn something new and try nothing bad at all just not to waste time. 
What happens if in terminal you enter:
sudo apt remove reaver
followed by:
sudo apt autoclean && sudo apt autoremove
?
no such files or directories
no interfaces in this directory
no wpa_supplicant.conf also
but inside each of these folders
I found this
You didn't respond to
Already removed reaver as I understood
not sure which part I missed
By the way the more problem not only about WIFI but it's about Software
the problem that I Can't open it or any program only browsers and discord working, the rest closing immediately when open include Software
Try:
sudo apt clean
In terms of the Software going do-lally, I would try installting gnome-software by first removing it:
sudo apt-get remove gnome-software
then
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
then
sudo apt-get install gnome-software
See if any improvemets.

Check if you're logging in wayland, if that's the case log in Xorg(X11) instead. There has been report of applications not working with Nvidia cards under wayland with kernel 6.8.0
