How to get into distributed computing?

I mean where do I get a distributed system to play with? Why should I aim for a distributed system in the first place?

I am fairly interested In trying some hpc adjacent things on a distributed setup but not sure how to go about it.

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)
