Description

Hi,
since recently Pluto can run Distributed, however it does not work out of the box because the standard serialization is known not to work in Pluto, but Distributed relies on it (I couldn't find a way to change this)

The PlutoSerialization is maintained in this repo https://github.com/MichaelHatherly/PlutoSerialization.jl

It would be great to be able to use this Serialization instead of the default Serialization when using Distributed inside a Pluto notebook.

Research direction

Start by reading how Distributed selects and uses its standard serialization, then compare that with PlutoSerialization.jl, which the issue links as the alternative. Determine whether a supported way to select the alternative serializer can be designed for Distributed in Pluto notebooks; done means Distributed works with PlutoSerialization in that setting.
