Hi,
I am running X11 with Nvidia-drivers 396.18-r1.
From time to time I accidentally hit a key combo
(ALT F*) and I am thrown to the LINUX console.
Back in the years when one setups X11 by hand
carefully inserting timings for the Cathod Ray Tube
it was possible to swicth back with CTRL-ALT-F12
(or was it ALT-F12).
You can't switch to the console with alt+fN. X11 to console requires
ctrl+alt+fN. From console to X11, it's just alt+fN.
On most modern installs, X11 runs on tty1 (when running systemd) or tty7
(when running openrc.) So just try alt+f1 or alt+f7 to go back to X11.
