DistroShelf request

[CrazyAce25]

Would like to see DistroShelf (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/distroshelf) as an Anylinux-Appimage

Likely not happening anytime soon since it depends on distrobox.

distrobox uses podman/docker which needs capabilities and lots of config files in /etc to work.

This can be done, those things are not blockers, I already appimage gpu-screen-recorder which needs capabilities to work.

The problem is that I have no idea how docker/podman exactly work, no idea if they are related to libvirt, etc, etc to know what I need to do to deploy them.

See: pkgforge-dev/virt-manager-AppImage#6

distrobox also support a 3rd method called lilipod made by the same developer and it is portable out of the box, but I was never able to get it to work, now I just noticed that one of the issues I had with it was fixed so I will try to give it another shot later.
