I agree that Linux' design sucks, but I don't agree in the operating system taking the role of distributed computing.
Distributed computing is really hard because all applications are efficient with different computing/storage models. You can look at Redis, BigTable, PostgreSQL, TensorFlow, MapReduce just as an example. There's no reason why you couldn't do deep learning on top of any of them (they are all generic enough to execute the algorithms), but you can easily have a 100000x speed in execution speed, in which case being compatible doesn't have any advantage.
