We should probably add at least those

1) Lots of documentation comes as PDF you should be able to access / read them
2) Archives are pretty common for pretty much very use case
3) "gnome-boxes will be available for the creation and use of vms, as
well as for connecting to remote systems, e.g. ovirt. " (listed as
core app)
4) Is / should be the prefered tool for creating Fedora Media ("burn"
to usb stick)
5) You ought to be able to create screenshots oob
6) Not sure about this one .. will most people just use top etc. in a
terminal instead?
