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

Provided that Posit (formerly Rstudio) does not offer official packages for Manjaro, I made my own packages. Here is how you can install it:

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

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, to sort out the dependencies and to build the packages is available here.

Here are the screenshots on a successful installation:
