In Linux you can access up to 6 different terminals plus the X display.

In Mint, the shortcut for the X display is ctrl + alt + f8 instead of f7. Since f7 shows me log messages of VirtualBox and Timidity++, I'm assuming its the text version of the X display.

I'm using Cinnamon as a WM and would like to use Unity in a different terminal.

Is that even possible?

Try as follows: go to your first free tty, say 1, by means of Ctrl+Alt+F1, login, then issue the command

 startx -- :1 vt9

The new X session will open in F9. And so on.
