Are info pages still a thing? I remember being very confused by them back when I started out with Linux, and eventually just stopped trying to understand how they worked.
Ironically, this sort of stuff -- the basic conventions like qhjkl0^$G + CRFFBSSPC keyboard navigation and :/? prompt modes -- is exactly what one initially learns from guides, tutorials, other people in IRC, and whatnot, long before coming to reference doco. The _Introduction to Linux_ book at TLDP covers the bare essentials of these conventions, q, b, and SPC, in the "quickstart" chapter 2.
For emacs stuff, yes, it's very convenient. I remember once upon a time, Python docs were available in info as well. When you have good documentation available in info, it's very nice.
