I've been using tigervnc to log in to an Ubuntu box, and it was simple to

Fedora
and was informed that launching vncserver was "deprecated", and pointed
towards the documentation for Fefora's systemd-based configuration.
Reading through that, the following limitation is a showstopper for me:

That's a no-go for me. My Fedora system is configured to automatically
log
into a graphical desktop. This won't work for me, then.
This is not a limitation on Ubuntu. It's too bad that Fedora cannot do
the
same.
With systemd, configured VNC Servers are started at boot, so unless you
are adding new users without configuring VNC, you shouldn't need to start
a server from a GUI session. I find, however, that I rarely need VNC as
web-based remote systems (e.g., Rstudio server, Jupyter) meet my needs.
