I feel like this is something I'm not missing much, at all, but
different strokes ... :-)

You might try to follow the instructions to get RStudio Server running:

https://www.rstudio.com/ide/docs/server/getting_started

It seems like they have packages built for many popular linux distros:

Once your linux server is set up, you should be able to access the
server with any client via a web browser, although I have no idea if
any of the iOS browsers are up to the task of dealing with the RStudio
web interface, but you can try and find out. RStudio's support forum
is more likely to be helpful here, for instance:
