Switch between the CLI & GUI

Here not (Ctrl+)Alt+F<number> to switch to a virtual console or GUI https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Keyboa … nd_Wayland https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Linux_ … _shortcuts, but like if you installed Arch Linux CLI, no DE.

From GUI to CLI:

sudo systemctl isolate multi-user

From CLI to GUI:

sudo systemctl isolate graphical

Boot to CLI:

sudo systemctl set-default multi-user

Boot to GUI:

sudo systemctl set-default graphical

Check the default:

sudo systemctl get-default

It's already in the wiki, you could have searched for it.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?se … v=acrw1_-1 not very clear...

I googled "switch gui cli linux" I found the source link of my 1st post, even "change graphical console" in Search ArchWiki gaves nothing...

But yes there's it.

The second link WorMzy provided exactly shows how to change the current target.
There is no point in explicitly listing commands for each and every of the plethora of targets available.

[root@srv system]# ls *.target
basic.target                hybrid-sleep.target        nss-user-lookup.target     sound.target
