too far away to be off r-release for that long while maintaining R packages on
CRAN that depend on tidyverse packages.)

$ sudo dnf update R --release rawhide

should do. Be aware though that this means updating other dependencies
too. This may or may not cause problems. A safer option would be to
use a containerized environment. Toolbox [1, 2] is perfect for this,
especially for development purposes:

$ sudo dnf install toolbox
$ toolbox enter -r 35
[toolbox]$ sudo dnf install R rstudio-desktop
[toolbox]$ rstudio
# rstudio opens

or directly without entering the toolbox first:

$ toolbox run -r 35 rstudio
# rstudio opens

Remember to install any additional repos and/or system dependencies
you may need (e.g., to install R packages from source) *inside* your
toolbox. Hope it helps.
