Can't install RStudio in any way

Hi,

I had some problem with updates. When I was trying to update the laptop would either freeze or shut off. Finally, I looked into it and it was an issue of orphans, dependencies and version conflicting. I solved everything except RStudio.
I tried uninstalling it to reinstall, but I can’t reinstall it.
I tried with pamac to install rstudio-desktop, rstudio-desktop-git and rstudio-desktop-bin.
Every time it either aborts or the laptop shuts off.
I refreshed my mirrors and tried again.

sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack && sudo pacman -Syyu

I tried to install it from a tarball downloaded from the official rstudio website, but only a blank space with buttons not working appears.
Finally, I installed yay and tried installing with it. Same issue.

Is there a specific requirement for you to install the git version? If yes then you cannot install this package right now as the maintainer is having a hard time fixing it:

Better install rstudio-desktop-bin:

pamac install  rstudio-desktop-bin

Thanks @ishaan2479 ,
I tried already, but at best I obtain a blank window with unresponsive buttons .
If I run

pamac checkupdates -a
Your system is up to date.

Out of Date:
rstudio-desktop-bin  2022.02.1.461-1  AUR

but it doesn’t provide a source for updating and several dependencies appear in orphans (pamac list -o).

This means it has been flagged as out-of-date on the AUR but the maintainer has not yet updated the PKGBUILD

Does it mean that whatever build I choose, they’re not working themselves.
It’s not my issue?

I don’t use RStudio myself but looking at the comments on the AUR it appears there are some issues. It has been suggested to run it from the terminal with rstudio-bin --no-sandbox
