Fix Linux package check not working for non-apt-based distros #1

Hi, I noticed you were updating the original GIF caption maker repo, so I figured I'd help out.

On non-APT-based Linux distros, the main script fails at import apt as these distros use different package managers. I replaced this check with shutil.which, natively supported by Python, which simply checks if each executable is on the system PATH.

Tested and working on EndeavourOS.
