Hi,

as nvim-user I am just starting out with orgmode and want to use emacs on 4 systems: 2 linux-boxes and 2 android-systems.

The linux-boxes run emacs 29, on android (in a termux/proot environment) the emacs version currently is 27.

I am using emacs only for orgmode with evil-mode and the modus-themes.

What I want is to have the same environment on all machines and so this is my plan:

I will use syncthing to sync all my org-files as well as the init.el between all machines and in the init.el I will only load packages with use-package.

So the idea is that when I e.g. introduce a new package on one machine, the new config is synced to the other machines and when I start emacs there the package is installed automatically - everything stays in sync.

My question: Would that work in practice or are there pitfalls I am not aware of?

    This is pretty much exactly what I do. The only real hiccups I can think of:

    1. If you use Org Roam the different machines will have their own Sqlite databases and thus you may need to do an org-roam-db-sync when hopping.

    2. org-agenda may need to be refreshed when hopping machines.

    I have bound keys for both of those things to make the manual portion as non-disruptive as possible.
