Sharing Home folder
Things to consider β οΈ
- ssh keys will be shared ash well
- to be able to connect to other system own key need to be added to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
- firefox will refuse to start thinking itβs already started
It is advise to enable different config between the two system (missing application / different version)
- consider using a dotfile manager (like chezmoi or yadm) to manage user-specific configs smartly.

Fixing IP
To make the /home folder available reachable, ip of the server must be fixed, cf:
- add a 2nd ip for a laptop
- this is dependant of the interface: changing a usb dongle will hide it.
- setup a static ip for a server
