Listing some useful ones:
• id: know yourself
• w: who is logged in (-f to find where they are logging in from)
• lsblk: list block storage devices • lscpu: display info about the CPUs
• lstopo: display hardware topology (need hwloc, hwloc-gui packages)
• free: free and used memory (try free -g)

• lsb_release: distribution info (try -a)
Be nice and fly under the radar, eg.: nice -n 19 tar cvzf archive.tgz large_dir
