R seems to work well on WSL

Does "may be numerically different from other systems" hold special meaning in R? I am not sure I understand what you mean by that.

R is often used for statistical or modeling computations which are typically floating-point intensive. microsoft/WSL#830 tracks a bug in WSL that results in floating-point computations having reduced precision. So the results of numerical computations may, indeed, be different (less accurate) as compared to other systems.
