Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I use ppc64le architecture and vanilla electron is not compatible... there are patched versions (of electron) available on some GNU/Linux distros like Void-ppc.

Describe the solution you'd like
Basically adding an option to the build system that uses the distro's electron

Describe alternatives you've considered
Use a precompiled version of electron on ppc64le?

I support the proposal. Even for x86 desktop or small arm board used tv box, the package size is excessive for small system partition - 330 MB to 400 MB. Using the system-installed libraries including electron is the way to go.
But the build system with yarn and the likes is nothing I understand...
