I think most or all of these models are in the R Standard lib

[wdkrnls → clircle]

Not all as far as I know. For ridge regression you will want to install glmnet, for example. mgcv which is usually shipped with R provides access to a few common fast kernels which seem to be the ones python programmers are familiar with.

Can use lm.ridge from MASS instead of glmnet, but yeah there’s going to be some smoother not in R standard library

mgcv also provides many more varieties of splines than base R.
