@cbrnr If you take a look at the rstudio-dekstop-bin comments page, the issue and the fix has been pointed out by several users. There also used to be an issue of openssl-1.1 dependency missing, which was also pointed out there and was unfixed for a long time. rstudio-bin was created to apply these fixes and make rstudio usable. Please note that these issues are/were not minor trivialities, they leave the package completely broken where rstudio wouldn't even fire up.

@Meow would you be willing to include the patch that adds the binary and desktop launcher so that they are available by default? Currently, neiter of those files are on the PATH, so by default users cannot launch RStudio. There is a new package rstudio-bin on AUR created just to add this patch. It would be very nice if this could be integrated into this package here, because it is way more popular, has been kept up to date, and has always been the go-to package for the binary release.

I don't think adding yet another package for RStudio is necessary. Did you try to get your fix into rstudio-desktop-bin? It might be the case that they've already fixed it (but their current build has a different issue right now).

The openssl-1.1 dependency isn't necessary if you update the download source to the one for Ubuntu 22.04, which uses OpenSSL 3.0.

rstudio-desktop-bin has a broken PKGBUILD which doesnt place a binary of rstudio in path on installation. This PKGBUILD completes that

How is this different from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rstudio-desktop-bin?

First of all; huge thanks for managing this package and keeping it up to date! My issue: Running a new install of EndeavourOS with the XFCE desktop. R installed just fine. After then downloading and installing rstudio-desktop-bin and booting it up, the interface is, how should I put it, very unresponsive. At startup, the entire window is blank. Not until I manually resize it does any content actually show up. But even then, when I try to type something, it doesn't show up at all until I again resize the window. It recognizes my input, but doesn't actually SHOW it until after each new resize of the window. Same thing when I scroll down the list of packages in Rstudio: Nothing seems to happen, and then when I resize the window, I can see that I'm actually all the way down the list. Any idea what could be the cause? I have similar problems with certain other applications.
