I own two iMacs located at different locations.
Today I use iCloud Drive to sync files, but in my opinion this is not enough. Ideally I want to be able to store the entire OS in the cloud, and both machines work like a single Mac with everything synced.
Since this is not possible I thought about the idea of buying an external Thunderbolt SSD and booting from that drive.
When I want to use the other Mac I shut down the first Mac, disconnect and move the boot drive to the other Mac and start that Mac (and vice versa).
Is it possible to share one boot drive between multiple Macs? I know the Macs will boot, but will there be any problems with activation, software licences, etc? How will MacOS / software react to frequent significant hardware changes?
Anyone tried something similar and have any experience to share?
