Questions about Manjaro

It is in the AUR:

pamac search positron 
positron-ide-devel-bin  2025.12.0.167-1                                      AUR
    A next-generation data science IDE. Positron is an extensible, polyglot
    tool for writing code and exploring data in Python, R, and other
    languages.
positron-bin  0.3.0-2                                                        AUR
    Desktop application that allows you to manage your movie and show
    watchlist.(Prebuilt version.Use system-wide electron)

So, it can be installed via pamac’s GUI (make sure you have the AUR enabled in 3rd-party settings, and the base-devel package installed). You can build (install) it via the command line:

pamac build positron-ide-devel-bin

Edit: after checking what RStudio does, I realised you probably are after the IDE, not the movie watchlist app
