Usually this is /usr, but this step is needed to inject different roots (specifically, Linuxbrew).
At this point, why even try using Linuxdeploy
* It seems that KDE on Wayland requires additional variables to work. * It also seems that KDE doesn't use an SVG parser as advanced as the GTK one, thus the icon looks weird.
Older GNOME versions, like the ones in RHEL 9 or Ubuntu 22.04, still present the appname in the top bar, but it is being displayed as AppRun.wrapped. Let's try to directly run usr/bin/cartero and see what happens.

GitHub Actions should come with Linuxbrew.
Since Linuxbrew makes easy to install foreign recipes (such as compiling new versions of dependencies on older versions of an OS, or even downloading bottles), this PR will switch the compilation environment for the AppImage to Homebrew on Ubuntu 22.04.
Ubuntu 22.04 actually packs an older version of glibc than Debian 12, so since Linuxbrew may actually install a version of the dependencies that is compiled against an old version of glibc, this should create an AppImage that actually expects an old version of glibc and thus works on Ubuntu 22.04 and Debian 12.
