Linux and Windows use different end-of-line delimiters, but R doesn't care
about that.

If the code uses the system( ) call to directly invoke an OS command, then
that code is almost certainly tied down to one operating system.  For
example, system("date") works fine on Linux, but doesn't on Windows.
