I have a couple of Chromebooks running CachyOS, and my wife uses hers less frequently than I do. I was wondering if it's possible to enhance the performance of my laptop by utilizing hers when she's not using it. Is clustering with CachyOS a viable option for this kind of setup?

Clustering isn't the solution you're looking for. It's mainly useful for running tasks in parallel where latency isn't a big issue. If you're thinking about SSHing into her laptop to execute tasks, it won't really streamline your workflow. A dedicated clustering setup probably won't improve your day-to-day performance like you might hope.
It's great that you're exploring options! But just to clarify: clustering works differently than having a dual GPU setup. If your laptop struggles with multitasking—like screensharing while on Zoom—clustering won't fix that. You might want to check other performance tweaks for your laptop instead.
While Linux does have clustering capabilities, setting it up can be pretty complex. It generally requires a good amount of technical expertise to manage effectively. This can lead to reliability issues that might not be worth the hassle for most users. Just something to keep in mind!
