DESCRIPTION
The `vt` command is a utility for managing virtual terminals in Linux. It allows you to switch between virtual terminals and perform other related actions. Modern systems usually use `systemd-vterm` which can be used to start / stop ttys.
KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN VT AND SYSTEMD-VTERM
The main difference between `vt` and `systemd-vterm` is that `vt` usually ships with `kbd` package and `systemd-vterm` ships with `systemd`. Both provide command line tools to control virtual terminals. However, `systemd-vterm` is more modern and can be used to start / stop ttys, while `vt` only manages the vt switching.
