The general plan here is that Graphical DEs should use tty1 through 5 for user logins (more than 5 is relatively unlikely) whereas 6 is reserved for text. Now days gdm.service (or even prefdm.service before it in at least Fedora and (because we nicked it) Mageia will actively conflict with [email protected] to prevent a text console appearing there. As getty@tty{2,3,4,5}.service are only started "on demand" these days, if a second gdm is spawned later it should just use tty2 (unless you've manually switched to it already and triggered a getty to startup.
