I'm setting my new desktop, I'll soon buy a new desktop machine, and i want to be able to switch easily from my (work) laptop to my (personal) desktop machine without having to unplug/plug all cables (monitor, mouse, keyboard, Ethernet, …)
I think a dock would be the best solution (Dell WD19 for example) to do that, but I'm not sure about the requirements how to plug-it to the laptop and desktop in order to make switching between them smooth, my laptop has a thunderbolt port, should my desktop have a thunderbolt as well ? Is the dock station enough ?

You probably want to look at something like a KVM
It allows you to use the same keyboard/screens(video)/mouse with multiple computers. This gives you the added bonus of switching between machines, without moving a single cable.
