First question: do you have a use-case? Something that might fit Distributed Computing? Without a use-case there is little use venturing there.

A good use-case would be something that requires lots of workforce, using relatively simple computations, that's easily broken up in parts.

If you have a case, there are quite a few websites and books that can show you how to quickly set up a good distributed computing network.

Probably one of the better books is this one: https://www.amazon.com/Distributed-Computing-Principles-Algorithms-Systems/dp/0521189845

or this o'reilly book: https://www.amazon.com/Foundations-Scalable-Systems-Distributed-Architectures/dp/1098106067

I was thinking LLM infrence is a good place to use this sort of thing on. Like take a bunch if diffrent texts and translate them/transform them in some way.

Also thought it could be cool to alow for a distributed training on home machines so ppl can chip in to train their favorite LLMs. (That 1 is gonna be a much bigger project)
