Does not support root podman and doas #877
Description
What happened?
I used podman (as root) and successfully ran doas podman-compose --file ~/.config/winapps/compose.yaml start, but the installation script still couldn't detect the running container. Using alias also didn't work. If I install as the root user and grant sudo permissions, the issue gets stuck in freerdp (I already installed sudo to make this script run, because alias to disguise doas as sudo also didn't work). I followed the steps in the README, everything was working fine but got stuck on setup.sh.

# [MOUNTING REMOVABLE PATHS FOR FILES]
# NOTES:
# - By default, `udisks` (which you most likely have installed) uses /run/media for mounting removable devices.
# This improves compatibility with most desktop environments (DEs).
# ATTENTION: The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) recommends /media instead. Verify your system's configuration.
# - To manually mount devices, you may optionally use /mnt.
# REFERENCE: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Udisks#Mount_to_/media

# [ADDITIONAL FREERDP FLAGS & ARGUMENTS]
# NOTES:
# - You can try adding /network:lan to these flags in order to increase performance, however, some users have faced issues with this.
# If this does not work or if it does not work without the flag, you can try adding /nsc and /gfx.

# [AUTOMATICALLY PAUSE WINDOWS TIMEOUT]
# NOTES:
# - This setting determines the duration of inactivity to tolerate before Windows is automatically paused.
# - This setting is ignored if 'AUTOPAUSE' is set to 'off'.
# - The value must be specified in seconds (to the nearest 10 seconds e.g., '30', '40', '50', etc.).
# - For RemoteApp RDP sessions, there is a mandatory 20-second delay, so the minimum value that can be specified here is '20'.
