'apt' is mandatory to retrieve Gambas packages from Ubuntu ppa, and so 
the name of the Ubuntu distribution is needed.

I read it from '/etc/lsb-release' (so that the generated AppImage is in 
sync with your current system). So maybe I should add a combo to choose 
the distribution if '/etc/lsb-release' does not exist.

In the meanwhile, if you can try patching the IDE source code to not 
read that file, but use a hardcoded Ubuntu version instead (for example 
'lunar'), we will see if the process can go on.

Anyway, The 'AppImageBuilder' website does not say that it works with 
Fedora.
