(3) Can I open several instances of R in parallel? On my PC I sometimes
have 2-3 windows open in parallel that work on different calculations to
save time. Not sure to which extent this is possible on LINUX.

?In addition to my off-list reply, you might want to talk to your Linux
person to see if you can use VNC no NoMachine (https://www.nomachine.com/)
to get a Linux graphical desktop ?connection (similar in concept to Windows
Remote Desktop) going. If you can do this, and can get KDE as the desktop
environment, then you can have a very Windows-ish Linux desktop displayed
on your Windows machine. But it will still be nice even with Gnome, or
XFCE, or even one of the other desktops (Linux has a lot of them, but I
think KDE is most similar to Windows U.I.) This will allow you to use
RStudio on Linux or have multiple terminal sessions going for multiple R
sessions. But this will _not_ allow you to disconnect from Linux while
maintaining the graphical desktop. At least, I don't think you can do that.
I could be wrong.

I assume that this questions are very na?ve. But since I?m only used to
working with Windows I?m quite stuck at the moment. Any help would be very
appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Michael
