RStudio Desktop 1.3.1004 Bionic Build with R 4.0.0 on WSL2 up and running remote x via X410

Hi,

Could you elaborate a bit more on how to do it? This sounds very interesting!
I just spent the whole day installing and playing with WSL2 (since it's part of the Windows 10 May 2020 update) and installed R on there as well.

I'm really interested in combining the RStudio experience with the WSL2 as for my research I have several programs that run on Linux and I like to call them via the system command in R. Although in RStudio I can set the terminal to WSL and run my commend there, when I use the system command, it does not send it to WSL because it uses my windows R version I think...

I hope RStudio might take a renewed interest in this now Windows made it easier to run Linux, as I read in a related post it has been very difficult for them to get this working in the past

Possible to use RStudio in Windows but run R in WSL Ubuntu?

Basically, as the title says. I have installed an older version of RStudio Desktop in WSL and run it through X11 with MobaXTerm. It has worked pretty well for some time, but has started to get flaky. Apparently, RStudio has no intent to support using RStudio in WSL. So, is there some weird way I could have RStudio Desktop in Windows connect to an R kernel in WSL?
