Run R online in Linux environment

Is there a way (perhaps a website) where one can run R online in a Linux environment?

motivation: I develop a few packages in R and oftentimes I need to run tests in Linux. However, I use a Windows OS and don’t want to go through the hassle of learning Linux to install it locally.

>Solution :

Three suggestions:

1. Install docker to be able to have a ‘virtual’ Linux on your windows computer. That is essentially unlimited use on your own machine allowing you to learn and test.

2. You can also go to rstudio.cloud to run a few hours of R within RStudio (Cloud) per month for free. If you need more hours, you can purchase them. Possibly easiest immediate approach but with a usage cap.

3. Similarly Google Colab has an ability to run R in the notebooks, but it still somewhat hidden. One source with tips is this SO answer.
