Sorry but a tty is just a teletype terminal, using a tty could just as easily mean using kitty, alacritty, gnome terminal or the one you get if you were to use your shell as an init system (not sure what that would be called). You don’t switch from a tty to Alacritty, as you’re still just in a tty.
Also to my knowledge kitty has hardware acceleration too.
Sorry to be nitpicking but I think knowing that tty isn’t just what you get when you press ctrl+alt+f2 is important for a deeper understanding of the operating system.
