I've been thinking about having a system where both my laptop and PC would sync to my server, having a copy of their state down to what project I'm coding, what settings I've changed in the system, apps downloaded etc. However I see several issues, and I would like to know your opinion if its a foolish idea in the first place.
First is the security aspect of it, authorizing an app that can edit, delete or add to my system is a security risk and a failure point, syncthing has fucked up not once for me so there's that, also security from the standpoint of wireless/external network syncing but I'm less worried about it.
Secondly apps and files that are on my PC might not be necessary on my laptop, like GPU intensive apps and games, if games at all.
I've also thought about just having one nvme drive that I would hotswap between the 2 but I quickly gave up on the idea just due to the inconvenience. :/
Anyway, any thoughts about whether its doable/plausible or a compromise?
I've thought about doing something like making snapshots of both systems as backups and to compare and having a tool notify me when there's a mismatch in configuration between the 2, and files and folders can be synced/directly worked with on my server so when I work on projects, with videos, etc I could do that.
How, if anyone has tackled this challenge in their own way?
