A simple question here. By default Ubuntu 18.04 runs consoles tty1-6, where tty1-2 are then used for the desktop environment.
When I am loaded to a gnome login screen (it's on tty1), I can log into my user account and quickly press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to switch to tty2 before it gets occupied with DE. What do you think then happens? Well, tty2 is now in a default tty mode (just like tty3-6), and DE is now accessible by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7.
Thus, here is my question. Does this move force my machine to start an additional tty (because usually they are created only up to tty6)? And also does it need a sensible amount of additional resources for that?
