I'm a dev and I can see their perspective. There's a reason so many programming language communities have added package managers outside the system one, for instance. If you aren't taking advantage of the package manager's capabilities, why pay its costs?
"Package managers have overhead and the MiSTer isn't a general purpose linux distribution." lol wut!? https://misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?p=22856#p22856 …pic.twitter.com/6lTC217tyK

The fundamental lack of understanding Linux and coming up with a pile of excuses is only laughable, at best. No true open source build root, no package manager, oh yeah let’s just claim it’s an “embedded system” lol.pic.twitter.com/zAxI2Wtgch

Saying that the embedded ARM Linux part of the DE10 is not powerful enough for handling a package manager is bull****. I use GNU/Linux distributions since Debian Potato and all of them use package managers. In this case the dependences would be “inexistent” and trivial to handle.

Lol right, the IBM Thinkpad that we ran Redhat 2.0 on in the late 90s has less processing power than the DE10-Nano.
