From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

R-Studio, the single most powerful forensics and disk diagnostics and recovery software for all OSes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The one you know is called RStudio.

No. What I am saying is different. The hyphen is the difference.

I know, that message was for the people who was about to comment about how R-Studio is an IDE for R.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

The IDE is called RStudio, not R-Studio. IDE is for R, and there is nothing inherently unique to that IDE. R-Studio on the other hand is a tool with absolutely no competition for over a decade, and is thus worth as a paid tool for all OSes.

So did you pay like $800 for that?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

When I used it on Windows, I pirated it. But there exists no way to pirate it on Linux, and when I have enough funds, I will ensure to buy something as useful and irreplaceable as R-Studio, since I get the liberty to use it on any OS.

Also only the Network Technician license costs $800. Regular single user lifetime license costs around $70 and works offline.

That's cool. I've been confused by their pricing. The cheaper licenses seem to be temporary ($1/day).
