I’ve “googled” and tried almost anything…

VNC runs as a regular user usually, not with a login prompt. You would
need to log in (via ssh or something else) at least once and start the
vnc session as the user you want to use. If you need multiple users,
each user would need their own session on their own display/port.
For
Geometry, there is a known issue with gnome not respecting the geometry
provided with vnc. The workaround I know is to use a different display
manager. There may be other solutions.
On the ssh point, ssh is
command line access, vnc is graphical. SSH can also be used to tunnel
the vnc connection. Is that what you mean? If so, you need to create the
ssh connection from your windows client machine and forward a local port to the vnc port on the remote server. It looks like TightVNC
includes ssh tunneling, but only in the java client:

documentation on how to set it up.
Thank you very much for your answer, it’s like impossible to get linux support these days.
- I believe Linux is multi-purpose by it’s nature. Correct me if I am wrong.
- I want it to be secure, thus the idea to use SSH so nobody could intercept raw passwords and other data from the communication.
- I Installed a server like “tightvncserver” on My linux machine because it works well with tightvncviewer and is said to not require physical monitors.
