Hi Luben, You wrote earlier that you cannot get linux help from your IT department. I am guessing that your IT department supports Windows. In that case, consider using Windows with WSL 2 (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about). The default Linux distribution for WSL 2 is ubuntu, which is supported by posit and R and will allow you to avoid the problems you are experiencing with Mint. A separate hint is that sometimes rstudio-server works when rstudio desktop fails. In this case you can bring up Rstudio in your browser.
