BTW I think that CRAN now is over 10 000 packages so even 435 is less than 5%.
I maintain some of those packages in Fedora, and from practical experience I
can tell you that
one of the problems when packaging a new R package into Fedora is that every
time you start
you have to unravel all the dependencies. Sometimes you need to go 5 levels
deeps, with a net
result of ~40/50 new packages that need to be added before adding the package
you interested
in.
Recently some of the packages required to have the packages you referred above
are starting
to show in Fedora. But that is a process that takes time and requires energy.
I presented a talk in useR 2008:
https://jamatos.fedorapeople.org/talk-user2008.pdf
FWIW this problem is not specific to R the same happens for python. There are
packages where
unraveling new dependencies is also a problem.

I have also a keyboard like that and the only key that does not work by default is the "calculator" key that is over the numerical section. FWIW I am using plasma (kde) on X11. I am not sure if this is different on wayland based desktops. Each key as an associated code (that I can see with xev), e.g. the key to play/pause media is associated with XF86AudioPlay. Actually most of the time the names are self-evident. This is similar to what happens when you press the Fn key together with the associated orange key the code is the same XF86AudioPlay. Actually I have these two options at the same time, if possible I always like to work with an external keyboard on my laptop. So I would expect that those keys should work by default without any configuration.
