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.
