How can I run Rstudio from my Windows subsystem for Ubuntu?
My laptop has the windows 10 system and I have installed the subsystem Ubuntu. I have installed Rstudio but when I run it "QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display Aborted (core dumped)" will be shown. Could anyone tell me how can I run Rstudio on my Linux subsystem? Thank you

WSL (Ubuntu) does not have a GUI!
The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is only command line. That means it can only run programs that have a text based interface. R for Linux is text based. Rstudio is a graphical user interface for R. You may be able to run R in WSL. I have not tried it.
However, without considerable tweaking it is not possible to run any software in WSL that needs a GUI. See What's the easiest way to run GUI apps on WSL as of 2018?
Both R and Rstudio is available for Windows. You may want to use those versions.
Hope this helps
