I also use vncserver (note: it is tigervnc and tigervnc-server) there are a couple of others, but they are probable dependencies.
I would also recommend install the xfce desktop since it doesn't require the graphics and power of gnome3. I generally use rc.local to start the vnc rather than the method using systemd. In rc.local I put the following line runuser -l usersid -c 'vncserver :port -geometry 1280x1024' The userid would be the login name that you want to use for the connection. port is the port you want to use. This is offset from 5900, which is the regular windows default port. Generally use a number from 10-99: The geometry can be changed to whatever you want. If you want to connect to the vnc using ssh, I've used stunnel to do this, but would have to look for the instruction. I had posted it on the stunnel site, but that was a long time ago. You would need to have it connect on the stunnel port and then have it to a local connect to the vnc port. If you are using xfce you have to make changes to the xstartup in the users .vnc directory. This is how I have it setup on one of my classroom machines #!/bin/sh # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: unset SESSION_MANAGER unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS exec /bin/sh /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc # X11/xinit/xinitrc [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey #vncconfig -iconic & xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & startxfce4 & #twm & The original one using twm instead of the startxfce If you are using windows to connect, I find the tight vnc viewer works better. With linux the tigervnc is what I use.
