Can't seem to figger this out. Anyone want to do a step-by-step?
Are you looking to share specific folders or do you actually want to share the entire user's home folder?
If it's the latter, I'd recommend using Syncthing, but be careful that there are important configuration files that can be sensitive to security (like PGP or SSH keys, if you use any of that).
Otherwise, I'd suggest using NFS since it's a file system native to the Linux kernel, as opposed to Samba which is more typically used between Windows' machines.
I wouldn't mind writing a step-by-step about this last one.

In case it helps, here's how you can setup NFS. I'd like to expand on this guide a little more to include things like authentication, but for a local network this should work fine for most basic scenarios.

Yes NFS is a lot easier. However, just to add I tried using this to backup my lady's data but due to age of my lady's machine it borked large transfer so had to piggy back drive in my machine!
