Just installed @brave browser on @ubuntu. Always good to have choices. Looks decent and fast, installs via an apt-get'able repo [btw @rstudio it has been a decade, we're still waiting for that, love, dirk] brave.com/

Good point, Dirk. I have had problems installing RStudio on some of my Linux machines. I don't use RStudio but I want to have it there on my machine so I know what my students go through who use it.

In fairness easy to install and scriptable (cf littler scripts below, h/t @cboettig and our Rocker work). But it is minor nuisance that _everything else_ on my machine updates (near) daily via one command, yet RStudio desktop and server need extra steps. github.com/eddelbuettel/litt…

The problem that I have encountered is missing system libraries. RStudio installs but doesn't run. Granted, Linux is a niche market, but given the R Consortium's ties with Linux, I would hope for more.
