They're all the same. Same as Windows for that matter. They boot in a desktop interface then with the mouse one can click on the terminal application icon which will then pop up a window with a Linux console prompt. Many desktop managers allows configuration of a key sequence to call applications. KXStudio uses the KDE desktop manager. Others might be using also KDE, or Cinnamon, Mate, Gnome, etc, there are a certain number of desktop managers out there although they all more or less behave the same. Do you have any special needs ? If so, please state them so it will be easier to provide suggestions.
