I often find it convenient to work entirely from the command line, and like to have several tty "consoles" open simultaneously.
How do I make my system default to having more than the traditional 6 tty consoles (CTRL-ALT-Fn)?
Also with the transition to SystemD and Gnome, has the tty console number actually drop? I seem to struggle sometimes opening even one, let alone several, and often end up with a behavior in which several (CTRL-ALT-Fn) combinations all lead to a GUI rather than a tty.
I am running a combo of Ubuntu 18.04 and 18.10 across several machines, if it matters.

Before answering your question, I would rather point you to use something like screen or tmux.
But if you insist on using ttys, you can spawn a new one with:
sudo systemctl start getty@ttyN.service
with N being a number not already in use.
You could change the default number of ttys started at boot (6) to something else by editing /etc/systemd/logind.conf and uncommenting the first line and change the number 6 to something else like:

I did tinker with tmux, briefly, a few years ago. I did not find it particularly intuitive. Swapping between several tty consoles, is however, brain-dead simple. I know it sounds strange coming from a die-hard Emacs fan!
