I've narrowed it down a bit so it can fit into one file per session.

/usr/bin/startgnome
#!/bin/sh
tty_num=$(echo $(tty | grep -o '[0-9]'))
gnome=$(echo /bin/gnome-session)
xinit ${gnome} -- vt${tty_num}

/usr/bin/startgnomeclassic
#!/bin/sh
tty_num=$(echo $(tty | grep -o '[0-9]'))
gnome_classic=$(echo /bin/env GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE=classic /bin/gnome-session --session gnome-classic)
xinit ${gnome_classic} -- vt${tty_num}

# chmod +x /usr/bin/startgnome*

- permanent (without graphical login screen - Display Manager)
# systemctl get-default
# systemctl set-default multi-user.target
# systemctl isolate default.target
or
- temporary
# systemctl isolate multi-user.target

$ startgnome
or
$ startgnomeclassic

Now folks can test without waiting for Godot. :)
