In addition to Johan's perfectly correct answer ...

Some tried to use external devices, i.e. a Synology with settings to fully synchronize and keep local copies, some even with cloud solutions, to some avail. However, this is very error-prone, and I'd discourage you from trying a similar setup, just my 0.02 😉

'Best' is relative. The easiest way is to keep your catalog and the images on a fast external SSD, and use that on both computers. Enable 'Save presets with this catalog' so both computers see the same presets.
