I often find it convenient to work entirely from the command line, and like to have several tty "consoles" open simultaneously.
How do I make my system default to having more than the traditional 6 tty consoles (CTRL-ALT-Fn)?
Also with the transition to SystemD and Gnome, has the tty console number actually drop? I seem to struggle sometimes opening even one, let alone several, and often end up with a behavior in which several (CTRL-ALT-Fn) combinations all lead to a GUI rather than a tty.
I am running a combo of Ubuntu 18.04 and 18.10 across several machines, if it matters.

Before answering your question, I would rather point you to use something like screen or tmux.
But if you insist on using ttys, you can spawn a new one with:
sudo systemctl start getty@ttyN.service
with N being a number not already in use.
You could change the default number of ttys started at boot (6) to something else by editing /etc/systemd/logind.conf and uncommenting the first line and change the number 6 to something else like:

I did tinker with tmux, briefly, a few years ago. I did not find it particularly intuitive. Swapping between several tty consoles, is however, brain-dead simple. I know it sounds strange coming from a die-hard Emacs fan!

@haziz: The advantage of tmux is not that it is intuitive. It is that you can SSH into it, and then it will protect your shell(s) from accidental SIGHUP on disconnect (if the internet drops).
