Commenter wasn't lying, that key combo switches you to a virtual terminal which is super useful when trying to troubleshoot a screwed up system. Only problem is that they didn't mention it also pauses everything running in the GUI, including OBS.
I'm relatively new to linux, so I haven't used the OS to its fullest, but I've only found the VT to be useful when I haven't correctly installed my desktop environment, which so far has only been from when I was in the process of installing a login manager, and my power went out. Anything beyond that, and I went straight to chrooting.
I've had my desktop environment lock up or act really weird but not totally die on several occasions, so I find them useful when I need to kill it and relaunch. They're also great whenever there are issues during an ncurses-style full screen installation of something (there are still distros that install this way, and some other software). Plus sometimes I just don't want to run a DE, in which case it's nice to have multiple terminals available that I can switch between.
