Error: spawn podman ENOENT when running PD 0.13.0 from released tarball on linux without podman

[odockal]

Bug description

I got Java script uncaught exception when starting podman desktop 0.13.0 (or when binary is built from main branch - 0.14.0-next version) on linux when there is no podman installed on the system:

After I click OK, app is spawn eventually.

Operating system

Fedora 37

Version

0.13.0

Steps to reproduce

1. Download tarball for linux
2. extract
3. run
4. ASSERT: app is started properly
   Actual result: error dialog is shown first

Relevant log output

No response

Additional context

The same can be reproduced when podman-desktop is built locally from main branch (0.14.0-next) and run.

Since I had podman installed for some time before, I decided to experiment with its removal, not sure that process was correct, I followed this guide here. Cannot exclude some system misconfiguration.
