You want "to use mature distro, with thousands of packages, with known bugs fixed, with fresh software, like Fedora." on an embedded system. Really?

  Yep. I used Fedora and Yocto on iMX6 SoloLite. Both use rpm&dnf. Fedora is much better. In fedora, I feel like at desktop: everything is the same, zero issues. In yocto, I feel like I returned in time for about 20 years: same f*ing bugs, which I reported or fixed years ago, again and again.

    It really depends on your hardware, there are many systems with limited storage and memory where Fedora is impossible to fit. I do believe Yocto is the Gentoo for embedded linux, which is over-engineered to hell. The good news is that, unless you have some very special requirement, just use buildroot, which is 1/100 of the complexity and get the job done well. KISS.

    Using a package manager on an embedded system is just asking for trouble. Or read-write rootfs, for that matter.

      I usually have a r/o rootfs as squashfs with overlayfs for changes. It makes it easy to wipe things back to factory defaults.
