[Solved] What's running on tty1?

I've tried to google it, but I've not found anything.

So, Xorg is running in tty7, however, there's also something running in tty1 (When I switch to it, I'm getting this: "Starting version 245-arch \n /dev/sda1: clean", which shows up when I boot my system)

"w" command output:

23:27:41 up 18 min,  1 user,  load average: 0.36, 0.53, 0.40
USER     TTY        LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
zanemone tty7      23:09   18:00  38.92s  0.19s xfce4-session

It also doesn't show anything related to tty1.

I guess it's probably something related to system processes, but I'm not really sure.

I've disabled silent boot parameters in grub, and it looks like it's systemd pid 1 running there.

But I'm still not sure

Why is X running in tty7?  How do you start X?  Did you run `w` as root or with sudo?

lightdm does that by default.

LightDM service. Idk, why it's running in tty7 (but it does so in other distributions, so...).

Yes, I did.

Ah, I see, thank you. I'm using LightDM with Xfce (forgot to write it).

Solved.
