You could, should, consider Wireguard.
- It's faster (less overhead) than OpenVPN
- Config requirements are similar to SSH, rather than OpenVPN
- Easier to add/drop clients than OpenVPN
- Available for all the OSs you mention, and will be in-kernel
in the next major revisions
You can use any of the remote desktop protocols over the
pseudo-ethernet interface that Wireguard creates. X11, VNC,
Spice, RDP...
xserver-xspice might be the right choice here. Debian and Ubuntu
have virt-viewer clients for spice, Windows and other OS have
clients here: https://www.spice-space.org/download.html
