gnome-remote-desktop as a service

I am using the built-in VNC server, which I believe is called gnome-remote-desktop and is enabled using GNOME Settings -> Sharing -> Screen sharing.

I enabled it on my desktop PC and can connect successfully to it from my laptop PC (the idea behind this is to make it easier to use a single keyboard and screen without having to press button to switch between the two).

However, in order to connect to it, I need to be logged in on the desktop PC. Can I run this server as a service so that I can connect to my PC from my laptop and then log in?

(This question is similar to this one from 2015 but this question is about gnome-remote-desktop whereas the other question was about the now-discontinued vino. Also, in the 6 years that have passed, there may be better solutions.)
