On my systems (CentOS7 and Fedora 36, both MATE-only installs), I get
the GUI login on CTRL+ALT+F1, which becomes the GUI session after
login, and all the other CTRL+ALT+F2 up to F6 are command line
interfaces.

If I use the switch user feature on the screensaver locked page, it'll
start a GUI login session on CTRL+ALT+F2, which will turn into the GUI
session after logging in.

If I exit the second session, it'll go back to being a GUI login
screen.

I can't recall what will happen if I exit the first session.
