The closed question will remain closed even if we decide it's not a dupe. It is asking 3 questions at once and that would make it too broad anyway.
In any case, if you feel you have something to add with respect to the distinction between "computer terminal" and "virtual console", by all means either add your own answer to the dupe's target (you could always preface it with something like "I will focus on the differences between...), or post your own question, limiting its scope to only the differences between the terms and post the answer there.
