I'm trying to use podman, and have been hitting a number of issues when trying to use podman-compose. This report is due to one of my attempted workarounds.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install Fedora on WSL with wsl --install FedoraLinux-42, and finish setup
2. Install podman and wget with sudo dnf install podman podman-compose wget.
3. Change settings necessary to use podman with devcontainers:
   • "dev.containers.dockerPath": "podman"
   • "dev.containers.dockerComposePath": "podman compose"
   • "dev.containers.executeInWSLDistro": "FedoraLinux-42"
4. Put the following repo contents (essentially a stripped-down C#/SQL Server setup) into a directory in the WSL distro: .devcontainer.zip
5. Open with code <wherever>, and follow the prompt to open the container.VSCode attempts to build the devcontainer, but hangs because podman tries to ask where it should be trying to pull the temp working image for feature install from. No interaction is available in the terminal log, and in any case the image isn't from a registry so would fail anyways.
