The best way is to do it over the network via rsync. My guess is that
you're on a gigabit network so it shouldn't take all that long, and
probably shorter than using a USB-based drive.

I'd set up the new machine as an rsync server with an /etc/rsyncd.conf
file that looks like:

That's far more complicated than necessary. If he has the user created on the new laptop, just do the usual rsync over ssh. From the old laptop as the user:
rsync -aP /home/user/ newip:/home/user/
(Make sure you keep all those slashes or you could get surprising effects.)

Be aware that workstation by default does not have sshd turned on, so you may need to run "sudo systemctl enable --now sshd" if you want it to stay on, or just "sudo systemctl start sshd" to run it for now.
