So while i was making my script (shameless plug) that heavily utilized rootless podman functionality, i noticed that something odd happening with system and non system installations of distrobox.
So it took me a while to realize that it was modifying my home folder podman containers and actually resetting them (!).
I changed installation script a bit to utilise correct prefix if it was specified and excluded podman system commands from being ran at all as they are probably hardcoded to home folder and i didn't find a way to specify prefix for it. Not using them anyway doesn't matter for prefixed installation as prefix is already known.
