> Which version of Fedora are you on? I've got Fedora 31. I just checked, and R 3.6.2 is available now.
Progress... ...however, there's another problem. >From the dependencies: R-java x86_64 3.6.2-1.fc31 updates 10 k R-java-devel x86_64 3.6.2-1.fc31 updates 9.9 k java-1.8.0-openjdk x86_64 1:1.8.0.232.b09-0.fc31 updates 281 k java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel x86_64 1:1.8.0.232.b09-0.fc31 updates 9.3 M java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless x86_64 1:1.8.0.232.b09-0.fc31 updates 32 M So, Linux's R (or at least Fedora's R) is dependent on Java. -> Bad idea... I'm using OpenJ9, so I can't install R like this without causing significant problems. (But please someone correct me if I'm wrong). I will allocate some time to investigate Dirk's suggestions, however, I'm thinking the best option is to continue using *Windows* as my primary OS, and build Linux versions of R from source.
