   Linux supports terminal switching as standard (AFAIK) - Alt-F[123456]   
   X11 suports Ctl-Alt-F[123456]   
   I don't know about Wayland. If it doesn't that's yet another reason to   
   keep X11.   
      
   Obviously this assumes (yes, I know) that your init system supports   
   multiple terminals. LMDE and MX Linux (systemd) and Slackware   
   (init/inittab)  do out of the box.

   Why would you want to? It's a separate session.

   But do you have evidence of that?
