Ubuntu 20.04 comes with TigerVNC 1.10.1:
Systemd files appear in TigerVNC 1.10.90:
The HOWTO says:

and systemd rules.
What are the systemd rules? Is there a way to create a systemd file that starts TigerVNC? I had no luck so far.
To have something to discuss:
```
[Unit]
Description=TigerVNC Service
[Service]
Type=forking
User=yuri
ExecStart=/usr/bin/tigervncserver -localhost no
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
Description=TigerVNC Service

Type=forking
User=yuri
ExecStart=/usr/bin/tigervncserver -localhost no
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
```

I'm afraid it's more than just a unit file. You also need to interact

with PAM for things to be set up correctly. So there are new binaries
and PAM configuration as well.
The easiest way forward is to use an updated version. I would suggest
poking Ubuntu about updating what they include in their repos.
