This is about a system+user that I give support.
I tried installing rstudio on a fresh ubuntu 22.04 install and it works flawless.
So the problem looks tied to this specific setup
It doesn't seem user bound, because new other user with empty profile gets the same sumier error
Question: can I make rstudio start, debugging it's own IDE?
When it starts, this is on the CLI
rstudio
TTY detected. Printing informational message about logging configuration. Logging configuration loaded from '/etc/rstudio/logging.conf'. Logging to '/home/super/.local/share/rstudio/log/rdesktop.log'.
"Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'notifyRCrashed' of undefined"
and We get a pop up with this:

The R session failed to start.

R can fail to start up for many reasons. The following may help you resolve the problem:
Investigate any errors above.
Make sure that R starts up correctly outside RStudio (using RGui, R.app, or R in a terminal).
Fully uninstall all versions of R from your machine, and reinstall the version you wish to use with RStudio.
Remove startup customizations such as an .Rprofile file, if present.

Description: GNU R statistical computation and graphics system
R is a system for statistical computation and graphics. It consists
of a language plus a run-time environment with graphics, a debugger,
access to certain system functions, and the ability to run programs
stored in script files.
.
The design of R has been heavily influenced by two existing languages:
Becker, Chambers & Wilks' S and Sussman's Scheme. Whereas the
resulting language is very similar in appearance to S, the underlying
implementation and semantics are derived from Scheme.
.
The core of R is an interpreted computer language which allows
branching and looping as well as modular programming using functions.
Most of the user-visible functions in R are written in R. It is
possible for the user to interface to procedures written in the
C, C++, or FORTRAN languages for efficiency, and many of R's core
functions do so. The R distribution contains functionality for a
large number of statistical procedures and underlying applied math
computations. There is also a large set of functions which provide
a flexible graphical environment for creating various kinds of data
presentations.
.
Additionally, several thousand extension "packages" are available from
CRAN, the Comprehensive R Archive Network, many also as Debian packages,
named 'r-cran-<name>'.
.
This package is a metapackage which eases the transition from the
pre-1.5.0 package setup with its larger r-base package. Once installed, it
can be safely removed and apt-get will automatically upgrade its components
during future upgrades. Providing this package gives a way to users to
then only install r-base-core if they so desire.
N: There are 22 additional records. Please use the '-a' switch to see them.

I have never used littler but I think it is plausible that it might be interfering with the startup process. I would try completely removing all R versions from the system (including littler and startup files) and reinstalling R from CRAN only.

You still have littler installed or at least some leftover artifact (which I suspect is causing the problem) and since you have R 4.1.2 I assume you are installing from the Ubuntu repository instead of CRAN
