I learned something new.

I was cocksure that for Xenial, as well as for Arch Linux F7
brings me back to the GUI. I also was cocksure that startup happen in
tty1, and that it is not usable, not free during a user session, but...

$ lsb_release -d
Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS

...no, tty1 to tty6 are unused, free and...

$ lsb_release -d
Description:	Arch Linux

...yes, tty1 is used by startup and not free for usage during a user
session.

However, I get back to the GUI for Xenial, as well as for Arch Linux,
both are using GDM to start an openbox session, by F7.
