UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers
Difference between console and Terminal.

I missed Unix Forums (check for other thread) which did have results. Thanks for the links!
Usually I don't have any luck with the (check for other threads) option but it worked well in this case. I'm interested in more of a (functional) understanding of what a console is rather than how to differentiate them visually. I noticed that when I tried to open a file with gedit or kate it would not work but emacs ( the editor with 1,000 hot keys) did open.
Can anyone tell me
what are the most common applications that are used in console mode?
and if (console is considered an application) and so on.
Thanks for viewing this thread!

systemd-ask-password-console.service systemd-ask-password-console.path systemd-ask-password-wall.service systemd-ask-password-wall.path DESCRIPTION
systemd-ask-password-console.service is a system service that queries the user for system passwords (such as hard disk encryption keys and SSL certificate passphrases) on the console. It is intended to be used during boot to ensure proper handling of passwords necessary for boot. systemd-ask-password-wall.service is a system service that informs all logged in users for system passwords via wall(1). It is intended to be used after boot to ensure that users are properly notified. See the developer documentation[1] for more information about the system password logic. Note that these services invoke systemd-tty-ask-password-agent(1) with either the --watch --console or --watch --wall command line parameters. SEE ALSO
