Since Brew is a community-maintained package manager, we cannot guarantee stability of Brew installs of Podman. Reccomend installing Podman from our pkginstaller instead.

This commit also changes the secondary install option from brew to a link to download the pkginstaller.

A lot of packages are done by a community and not by a corporation, without it necessarily reflecting on their stability.

Maybe some of the problems stem from a mixture of installation via brew and installer? I had naively thought that I had to install CLI podman via brew, and then Podman Desktop via .dmg, but then it came to my mind that this probably is a bad idea.

Maybe another warning in the docs not to mix the two could help save from related issues being reported?

We should document how to clean up once you have your machine partially installed with different methods.
