To solve similar problem, I just install Lubuntu 17.10 on an old PC
(i686) and I am astonished by the reactivity of the computer... it has a
second life.
The main problem is that Rstudio Desktop 32 bits is no more supported
for Ubuntu 32bits computers but the solution using Rstudio Server 32
bits works very well.

I can install and run R 3.4.4 on Windows XP (32bit). However, calling

dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll"
and the following text printed to the RGui console window:
"...
In addition: Warning message:

"IdnToAscii" is exported from "C:\WINDOWS\system32\normaliz.dll" on
Windows XP. But apparently RGui cannot locate this procedure on
Windows XP.
Any advice? (except for "switch to a more recent windows version")
The Windows FAQ 2.2 says, "Windows XP is no longer supported", so I
think you're out of luck. XP went past "end-of-life" in 2014.
Other than switching to a more recent Windows version, your choices
are switching to a completely different OS, or switching to an older
version of R.
