I remember the “switch to tty2” thing too, from old glory Ubuntu days (I mean decade ago at least). Nowadays when I switch to a different tty, it feels like stuff is assigned randomly. Honestly I never got that deep into it to study and don’t understand it fully myself. So don’t ask me about details, I would probably look goofy then.
SDDM is a popular graphical display manager used by KDE as the default, because their previous house made display manager didn’t support Wayland. Gnome has GDM (do they still?) and there are bunch of others. You can switch the display manager too, I think KDE even offers builtin option to change, but I’m not sure right now. The name display manager is a bit confusing, because its about your user login with graphical interface.
