I tried the multi-computer setup for a couple years in college, and just never liked it. I tried everything to keep all my files, keybindings, git repos, etc. in sync, but it just ended up being a big hassle. I was really frustrating when I would make a change on one computer (settings, new programs, things like that), and then go to another and expect it to be there as well, but it wasn't.

And when you consider that a lot of programs don't have any kind of native sync, it almost makes you have to abandon certain programs you've come to depend on for so long, or set up really hard-to-maintain or expensive workflows for implementing sync outside of that program.

But just because it didn't work for me, doesn't mean it won't work for you. Good luck!
