RStudio provides pre-built R package for Linux and since a some weeks now, they can be used on GitHub Actions (https://github.com/r-lib/actions). In addition, the run-time limit on GitHub Actions is several hours compared to the 50 minutes you've' got on Travis, so even if you install from source, you're less likely to hit these limits on GitHub Actions.
Also, it could be that you could tweak/trick Travis to install above Linux binary packages.
