I cannot create a new PKGBUILD, as this would be against the rules. I already tried to get added as a maintainer, but so far I've had no luck.

@cbrnr can you make another package for your PKGBUILD so we can vote that one up instead?

Hi, could you update this package please? I am unsure if I should still use this package or use the rstudio-desktop package, if anyone wishes to give me advice it would be helpful

Give it time. If the maintainer does not respond, then ask to orphan the package.

cbrnr commented on 2026-02-14 12:11 (UTC)

The maintainer isn’t listening, just use my PKGBUILD instead.

Is it still needed to have openssl-1.1 as dependency? it is no longer in the repos, and after removing it, it works (at least for me)

cbrnr commented on 2025-09-22 18:07 (UTC)

Or use my PKGBUILD available as a Gist with more features and no unnecessary dependencies. https://gist.github.com/cbrnr/9bad76d97ff17e37980cf40416fc5596

Here's a patch to use 2025.09.0-387 amd64.deb installer. Save as e.g. rstudio.patch, then clone the aur repo, do git apply rstudio.patch and then makepkg -s etc. Works fine for me.

You can find an improved PKGBUILD with the latest version here: https://gist.github.com/cbrnr/9bad76d97ff17e37980cf40416fc5596

However, note that because the package uses a newer Electron version, it doesn't start on Wayland anymore. You have to start it with the following flags:

rstudio --ozone-platform-hint=auto --use-gl=angle

Even then the window borders will look glitchy, but the app should at least work. This was an Electron bug (https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/46624), which has already been fixed and should be availble with Electron >= 35.2.0.

@sfabius please use my PKGBUILD instead: https://gist.github.com/cbrnr/9bad76d97ff17e37980cf40416fc5596
