Re: "text terminals on Ubuntu 22"
Personally I love the rolling release, I really dislike having to do major updates on OS when they can be continous. I have a very lean system though and nothing ever break much.

apart from arch, i would strongly recommend alpine. it is free of systemd (in contrast with arch), of course has VTs (configure in inittab) and it has a packaging system that you the user have control of.
it works well as desktop with standard software; but expect problems with complex frameworks, mostly due to the musl ecosystem. it is blazing fast.
text terminals on Ubuntu 22 — I can't believe I'm asking for help on this but does anyone know how to enable the text terminals in Ubuntu 22? The ones you access with Ctrl+Alt+F?. I tried all the help online but no luck. And on this note, which distribution would you guys recommend? I really want to change after seeing this stupid update by Ubuntu, something that works well with i7 CPU and nVidia(ugh!) would be great!
