I am thinking of moving to linux (Debian seemed to suite me) from Windows. I have used lubuntu and and ubuntu somewhat before, but their use has been very limited.

My main use would be to do statistical programming on R and Python. Does Debian have all the CRAN packages I can install on Windows? What about packages on Python? Does Debian suite me at all or should I look elsewhere?

    Yes it does but it will be outdated and stable.

    I recommend Fedora even though I have never used R personality. Another option is to use distrobox with podman in order to run any distro
