The time to move away from Microsoft Windows and change to Linux is beckoning – I find Windows 10 almost unusable in that it is desperately slow and often unreliable with automatic updates changing my settings at will.
I have a Linux system running from a flash drive and there seems to be very little that I do in Windows that I can’t do on this simple installation. A major consideration however, is running R:Base: Will it run directly under Linux? There seems to be ways of running some Windows programs but not all – will R:Base run in one of these systems? Presumably there is no problem with a dual boot set up? Any advice and comments would be welcome, Regards, Alastair.
