Always boot into TTY not the GUI

[g0x0]

Hi, I love my lizard system very much

These days I only require basic text editing (micro) and some python scripts. I don’t need the entire GNOME on Xorg.

My question is

1. How can I set my system to boot into TTY only, the command line interface u get when u press ctrl+alt+fn{3…12}.
2. And after I’ve booted into TTY how can I start a GNOME on Xorg session on that TTY without rebooting.
3. How can I terminate a running GNOME Xorg session in way that it reverts back to TTY without rebooting.

Thanks

Old Init3 permanent:
systemctl set-default multi-user.target

Old Init5 permanent:

systemctl set-default graphical.target

@g0x0 for 2. systemctl isolate graphical.target and for 3. it’s systemctl isolate multi-user.target they all need to be run as root user…

That works!
