VNC is the kind of the baseline remote desktop that works on pretty much any operating system. You can start there & then decide if you need specific features that the others have.
You didn’t mention your own OS but it too probably already has support for its own remote desktop solution.
Windows has its default Remote Desktop Connection that uses RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), once enabled it will listen on port 3389. It is pretty solid and has a few features beyond VNC. Just be careful, you probably don’t want to open that port onto the internet since every port scanner is scanning that port & looking for unpatched Windows vulnerabilities or insecure user/password logins.
I use RDP myself for my Windows system but I need to SSH into my network before using it, so it’s really RDP over SSH. If you’re not going to go through all that at the very least change the port to something else so it doesn’t get port scanned to death.
… TBH if you’re not too sure about how to secure this stuff maybe Chrome Remote Desktop is the best option, at least it’s secured behind your own Google account (hopefully that itself is secure and you have 2FA enabled).

Since you mentioned RDP over SSH, I thought you might be interested in this GUI tool I made to do just that.

I use it because I can’t be hassled to deal with my CG/NAT and I don’t keep my computers VPN on 24/7. I’ll use it until I decide to totally de-google
