I understand, thank you. It seems like VNC isn't yet a plug&play technology... I can't find how to make VNC working through SSH on Ubuntu 20.04 that launch automatically on startup. Never mind, I'll give xrdp a try.
I am trying to use the file on Raspbian x86 in a virtual machine under VMware (whicn doesn't have RealVNC installed in the image, or for free). It seems like it's starting, but I can't connect to it. Here's the status, when I run vnc@:1.service:

Any Idea why I can't connect on 5900, 5901, 5800 or 5801?
Perhaps your VNC server service file setting is incorrect, but I have no experience and available time to test the VNC server with Gnome desktop.
