Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

For now you have to install the podman program and start the system service, to run on Linux.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be useful if you could create a podman machine, using only the podman-remote-static:

Describe alternatives you've considered

It is possible to use Podman Desktop with the available older system versions of Podman, like v3.4

Client:
Version:      3.4.2
API Version:  3.4.2
Go Version:   go1.15.2
Built:        Thu Jan  1 01:00:00 1970
OS/Arch:      linux/amd64

Server:
Version:      3.4.2
API Version:  3.4.2
Go Version:   go1.15.2
Built:        Thu Jan  1 01:00:00 1970
OS/Arch:      linux/amd64

It is also possible to use Lima to create the virtual machine, instead of using Podman to do it.

Additional context

This issue is more of an epic, than a single feature.
