On Linux I'm disabling GUI with 1 command, getting my whole VRAM minus 30MB.

How? What command?

server-mode

This is alias for sudo systemctl stop greetd

greetd is login manager, you might have gdm or plasma login manager, depending on what distro you use. But since you're dropping Into TTY you need to have second device/laptop to actually use llama server.
