Is it?

the NFS server /etc/exports file needs to be setup, at least for linux nfs servers....

Appears that you "buried the lead" by not mentioning virtualisation and how the host connection is setup for each.
Perhaps one uses host-only or NAT networking and the other uses a bridge? Just a...

I could be wrong, bu I don't believe this will work.
I'd just use one of the X/Windows session init files. ~/.xprofile or ~/.xinitrc
Sorry, I don't remember which gets run after the x-server runs,...

I'm guessing there's no convincing you to use NFS? I had to ask. ;)

Can you elaborate, please? What doesn't seem to work? There where multiple suggestions. Nobody can help without knowing exactly what was tried.
Perhaps someone else can better explain the...

Good job on getting something working. With so many moving parts, this can be confusing.

I've never used MS-WSL with a GUI, since it is a text only solution to my knowledge. You'll need to run an X/Server as a Windows program. The free ones are less than great, IME.

If you want a...

Please step back and start from the beginning. You've jumped in about 5 steps and we can't guess where you think you are.
Is this something related to virtualization?
What is the hostOS?

People using the bleeding edge kernels need to be careful. Is that news?

Happily using 4.15.x for production here. New is the enemy of stable.

If compatibility is the primary goal, get a printer that supports 2 things:

postscript
ipp

Then you are golden regardless of everything else, including the OS.

I'd avoid inkjets. The cost...

systemd can be setup to restart daemons, if you like. Probably want to limit the restart attempts to prevent infinite looping.

Most of the stuff described was solved decades ago. Look into...

Are you sure the assuption that both systems have identical NICs is valid?

Run obconf. See the "Desktop" tab. Tweak as desired.

I don't read every article. By using a feed reader, I see the title and summary for each article and can decide whether it matters or not. I couldn't imagine trying to do that with a browser. Get...

Something is complaining that it can't read a file - twice. It isn't saying that the file doesn't exist or any of the 50 other errors. It says it cannot read it. This is trivial to correct when you...

swapoff then delete the swap partition.

You can have 1,2, 20 swap partitions or files. swap files have some limitations. Be certain you understand and can live with those.

Permissions. Fix this first. Appears only read is needed.

20.04 uses netplan. ifupdown was deprecated.

sshfs is really slow. Best to be used for temporary stuff or over the internet.
Either use nfs or cifs when on the same LAN. Both will be 2-4x faster than using sshfs.

Don't use rdp. Use ssh -X. A full desktop isn't very efficient.

If you type

df -Th
Does all the storage involved show up? Both the source and the target? If not, no, that is not correct.

Run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get full-upgrade

That should bump up the system to 18.04.5

rsync over SMB? That's confusing.
How about "rsync to an SMB mount"?
Just mount the SMB/CIFS to the machine where the files are located and use rsync. That works. I use it a few times a week.
