From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can this be replicated with opensource software?[p2p file transfer over thunderbolt, and extremely low latency Video and game streaming (no encoding)] (www.youtube.com)

Further if this technology is open-sourced; can it be extended for use cases beyond that(Dual Motherboards sharing Compute power with low latency for working on a single process?); I know such solutions probably exist for servers and enterprises but i am talking about amateurs who don't have 10K lying around for specialty hardware: If possible this seems like a low cost solution to mess around with

LTT is trash

Can you answer the question raised by my post?, or provide an alternate source(perhaps an article or coverage by a different channel) for the technology discussed?

One does not need to be a fan/recurrent viewer of LTT to be curious about a technology. And while most of the technical information sucks, the introductory level stuff can be useful for low and middle-end enthusiasts.
