Does Arch support data transfer over Thunderbolt 3 host-to-host cable?

All in the title.. a USB-C Thunderbolt 3 cable that is plugged into two PCs each running Archlinux -> will data transfer work? (The TB3 specification allows it.)
It's just annoying to have to use USB sticks for simple things like this, requiring you to do everything twice.

I don't know. Maybe check the wiki?

I'm asking because the wiki has silence about this matter, leaving to guess whether full spec is available or not - without coding your own patches or something.

The wiki links to the kernel docs which have a heading to: https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/thu … bolt-cable  -- so should work.
