Invoke e.g. `bootc status --json`, and check if `status.booted` is not `null`.

### Detecting rpm-ostree vs bootc
28+
29+
There is no "bootc runtime". When used with the default ostree backend, bootc
30+
and tools like rpm-ostree end up sharing the same code and doing effectively the same thing.
31+
Hence, there isn't a mechanism to detect if a system "is bootc" or "is rpm-ostree".
32+
33+
However, if the `incompatible` flag is set on a deployment, then there are layered packages and
34+
`rpm-ostree` must be used for mutation.
