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.

Pretty much the only way around this is to keep the computers in sync at all times using something like Syncthing. Otherwise you will be bound to some sort of network drive thing, be it cephfs, NFS, Samba.
A lot of enterprise grade stuff will also not exactly appreciate extended periods of being offline or powered off without triggering the need for a full resync.
Honestly your best bet might just be some USB drive you keep around.
