Dear Experts , I am using R with Spark on Windows and now there is a need to move to Ubuntu. I wanted to know if most of the packages that are available on windows , would they be available on Ubuntu/Linux? If not can I compile the source code of those package ? Has any one of you used the packages on Ubuntu ? Thanks in Advance.
There are thousands of R packages. The majority work fine on multiple platforms. Whether your packages are in that group is something only you can determine. I will say that Linux is typically better than Windows when it comes to big data tech, so even if some specific packages don't work there are likely equivalent packages that do. -- Sent from my phone.

I have been using Ubuntu and R Studio for about 5 years and have not had any problems finding and installing packages. I believe there are packages that only work in Windows but I don't what they are.
