R on Debian (sopuli.xyz)

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?

Fedora has a COPR containing all the R modules.

I personally run Rstudio + copr + modules through a distrobox container to keep my system clean.

Isn't Copr slow?
