The tradition amongst most distros for decades was to keep tty[1-6] available for text login sessions, and start the GUI DM on tty7, with any additional X sessions going to tty8, next tty9. The Gnome/GDM/systemd people several years ago decided this was no longer necessary, and moved GDM to tty1 (or tty2, I'm not sure which, as I never again installed GDM after the first time). The KDE devs played monkey see, monkey do on this. Neither group considered there to be any relevant disruption possible by this break in tradition. I have regular uses for tty1, tty2 & tty3, so no room for their intrusion into my workspaces.
Just FWIW: on my freshly installed (three or four days ago) OpenSUSE LEAP 15.5 with default settings (Plasma 5), tty1-tty6 are free and whatever graphical stuff is running takes on tty7, like the good old tradition 😉.
I don't expect Leap 15.x to be affected yet. Tumbleweed, might. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
