Description

### Problem
The quickstart targets Ubuntu 24.04, but enterprise/on-prem hosts are often
RHEL-family (Rocky, AlmaLinux). Requirements (systemd, root, outbound HTTPS)
are distro-agnostic, but the host-side scripts assume Debian/Ubuntu.

### Blockers on RHEL-family
- `install.sh` / `uninstall.sh` look apt-based (Azure CLI); RHEL needs dnf.
- `systemd-nspawn` / `machinectl` ship in `systemd-container`, not installed
by default.
- SELinux enforcing can interfere with nspawn machines.

### Proposal
- dnf-based path + documented prerequisites for RHEL/Rocky/AlmaLinux 9+.
- Add Rocky/AlmaLinux to the validation matrix.
