These days, I’m running Manjaro Linux on my personal machine.

I used to run the Plasma KDE flavour, but I switched to the GNOME desktop recently and I don’t think I’ll ever go back. Plasma is cool and all, but GNOME is just sooo sooo nice.

Anyway, it’s always a bit tricky with Linux to get things working “just right”.

I was bashing away at some R scripts the other day and realized I didn’t have Apache Arrow installed in my R library, which I use very frequently.

So I went to install it with install.packages("arrow") annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd…

No go.

A quick Google later, and I found this link which got me on my way.

Maybe this post will help someone else out there.
