Not needed by a newbie and quasi obsolet for many distros.

Very useful!

Very useful! Alternatives: htop and atop

I like hwinfo instead of a bundle of other commands.

Ok, I didn't comment everything, you mentioned several commands that IMO
are only confusing a newbie, those are also two commands that are
unimportant.

And I forgot to mention shortcuts.

Yes, there are some useful shortcuts. I guess tty is unimportant at the
moment, but e.g. Alt+F2 is useful to launch an app and Ctrl+Alt+F7 is
useful, if a newbie should "lose" the desktop environment. Cut and copy
shortcuts perhaps are already known
