    ...fails due to missing libfuse2 package. Kali uses libfuse3-4. Manually installing libfuse2 fails due to a package conflict.
    I think, Parallel Tools will be able to use libfuse3 without any major change, maybe just the requirements checker script needs to be adopted.
    I would be available for beta-testing if needed.

    Workaround:
    1. copy the contents of the installer so that you can edit ./installer/pm.sh and make it check for the version of libfuse installed by kali by replacing "libfuse.so.2" with "libfuse3.so.4" so that it looks like image below & save the file
    2. run 'sudo ./install-gui'
    3. reboot

    Confirmed that replacing libfuse.so.2 with libfuse3.so.4 in /installer/pm.sh works
