    I switched from Ubuntu to Manjaro after using Ubuntu for over ten years. I did this because I wanted something that “just works” but that provides a nicer terminal experience.

    Provided that Posit (formerly RStudio) does not provide official packages for Manjaro, I created my own packages. Here is how to install these:

    < section id="rstudio" class="level4">

    RStudio

    wget https://github.com/pachadotdev/rstudio-positron-manjaro/releases/download/2025-09-07/rstudio-desktop-2025.05.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
sudo pacman -U rstudio-2025.05.1-513-amd64.deb
    < section id="positron" class="level4">

    Positron

    wget https://github.com/pachadotdev/rstudio-positron-manjaro/releases/download/2025-09-07/positron-2025.09.0-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
sudo pacman -U positron-2025.09.0-139-amd64

    The code that I used to download the official DEB packages, figure out the dependencies, and build the packages is available here.

    Here are the screenshots on a successful installation:
