I used to have Inferno running on a workstation at work, and another one at home. Each was hosted on Linux (though Inferno can run natively on hardware as well).
One can build a tiny grid with encrypted communications to share resources using Inferno operations to glue it all together.
Nowadays 9p, (known as Styx on Inferno), is used in the Linux kernel, as part of WSL, QEMU, and various other places to share resources and files on a network.
It's a really simple protocol. I started working on an implementation in Swift, and should probably finish it someday.
