I’m a newbie at Manjaro but not at Linux (Ubuntu, Raspbian). My testing system:

My issue: I want to work at the Lienovo machine headless from my Ubuntu system. So I installed x11vnc. I wrote these targets and services:

x11vnc.service
[Unit]
Description=VNC Server for X11
Requires=display-manager.service
After=display-manager.service

[Service]
Type=forking
User=jz
ExecStart=/usr/bin/x11vnc -display :0 -forever -rfbauth /home/jz/jz2009

[Install]

sudo systemctl enable graphical target

After rebooting x11vnc is not runnig:

If I started from terminal with x11vnc -display :0 -forever -rfbauth /home/jz/jz2009 x11vnc runs and I can login from my Ubuntu system. Whta’s the fault?

I suggest you to go one more time over the documentation at X11vnc - ArchWiki
