CONFIG_VT=n in 2023
https://github.com/n3rdopolis/fakekmscon starts the getty process as root on a pty that a socat "server" provides. It then sets the owner of the communication socket file to allow a system non-root user to interact with it. The socat client that connects to it is called by foot that runs under cage, which all start as a non-root system user.

Life without CONFIG_VT=y in 2021 on the Desktop
Obviously you don't have the text-mode fullscreen terminals anymore. It's possible to emulate them with cage, and vte though. But with no getty support (and no global CTRL+ALT+F(x)) that would be harder to manage... I did something very rudimentary https://github.com/n3rdopolis/fakekmscon to replace the VT terminals, but you still need the TTYs for CTRL+ALT+F(x) to work
