I just got a new Linux computer running Pop!_OS. If I download R from the repository, which is basically he same as on Ubuntu, I get an outdated version that can't run ggplot2. So I went to the R download page and downloaded the newest version. It has make and config files but they require an intense number of dependencies and I couldn't figure out how to ever get the X11 dependency resolved. Some places suggested installing packages related to xorg, but I didn't find `xorg-x11*` in my package manager at all. I tried installing `xorg-*` but this didn't resolve the problem.
I tried installing Anaconda and doing everything within there. It delivers the latest version of R but still to run `install.packages("dplyr", dependencies=T)` throws a ton of errors about unmet dependencies, one of which is again X11. So at this point I'm feeling kind of stuck on this ... And it just seems wild to me that it's this hard to get R working with dplyr. Is there an easier way? I also tried guessing that maybe `conda install r-dplyr` might do something but no luck, package not found. Might have something to do with environments, I'm not really clear on how those work. Anyway, for details: My OS is Pop!_OS 19.04, my R version is 3.6.1, RStudio 1.1.456 running by way of Anaconda. Recently ran an update on every R package.
