RStudio code runs on Windows, but identical code fails on Linux

I have written code in R in RStudio on a Windows10 PC but need to execute the same code on a Virtual Linux Ubuntu 20.04 machine now. I have installed RStudio on the Ubuntu machine and adjusted the paths but it does not appear to work. What am I doing wrong?

The code I want to use is very simple. I have a folder within all my functions are saved as .R files. I source all the files and then add them through the code.

Code on Windows:

Library_path = "Z:/R_Code/MyLibrary/" #set path to folder
source_files <- list.files(Library_path , "*.R$")  # locate all .R files
map(paste0(Library_path, source_files), source)

Output Windows:

> source_files
 [1] "function1.R"                           
 [2] "function2.R"                                   
 [3] "function3.R"

Code on Linux:

Library_path = "/home/username/pathToFolder/R_code/MyLibrary" #set path to folder
source_files <- list.files(Library_path , "*.R$")  # locate all .R files
map(paste0(Library_path, source_files), source)

Output Linux:

> source_files
character(0)

Do the file paths need to be specified differently in RStudio if it runs on Ubuntu? The location of the files on the Ubuntu system is on a mounted share drive, could that be a problem?

Thank you very much for your help!

Thank you @r2evans for your help.

I found my mistake: The code works on Windows and Ubuntu, the problem was that the file path systems work differently.

On Windows:

path = "/folder/"

On Linux:

path = "./folder/"

If the point is added it works.
