I am aware that I can use RStudio server on my remote machine, and connect to that via a web browser on my client machine.
However, I would prefer not to use my web browser. Is it possible to set up RStudio Desktop to connect to the RStudio Server?
Many thanks

RStudio is an integrated development environment for R, a programming language for statistical computing and graphics. It is available in two formats: RStudio Desktop is a regular desktop application while RStudio Server runs on a remote server and allows accessing RStudio using a web browser.
access larger CPU and memory footprints. leverage compute resources more efficiently. control access to data in a centralized manner. ensure the R package versions used are standardized.
There is an alternative: create Rstudio Server webapp.
This is how I did it:
Login to the rstudio server from the browser using serverip:8787
On the menu bar, go to File (or Tools in some cases) -> Create application shortcut. This dialogue box will appear: Rstudio shortcut
Add it to your desktop by selecting and run it as if you're running rstudio desktop version. Rstudio webapp screenshot
