I wonder if this really is a good speech to
groom people into Gnus...? :)

You got a screenshot? Here is my Gnus
Group buffer [1] and more Gnus dumps and
source [2].
Here is some Elisp to take console dumps from
Emacs:
(defun dump (file)
(interactive "s Description: ")
(message nil)
(shell-command (format "sudo fbgrab ~/%s.png" file)))
(The third line is the most important.)
fbgrab(1) is probably in your repos, at least
if you use Debian or one of the derivatives...

F1 and F2 work in the console according to
showkey(1) but they are nonresponsive in
a console Emacs without rewiring. Perhaps your
are in a terminal emulator in X with
'enacs --nw'? Actually it is much the same.
Anyhow the function kyes are not good.
Especially for routine tasks. Too far from
typing position which is asdf (left) and jkl;
(right). Minimal reach, no reset.
OK, so then, in X you can use gnome-screenshot
and many other tools. (You don't need Gnome to
use it.)

You can write that as:
(global-set-key [f1] #'switch-to-prev-buffer)

I have something like that as well [3]:
(defun mute-kill-warnings ()
(dolist (p (process-list))
(set-process-query-on-exit-flag p nil) ))
(defun kill-everything ()
(gnus-kill-if-runs)
(mute-kill-warnings) )
(defun emacs-quit-no-confirm ()
(interactive)
(kill-everything)
(save-buffers-kill-terminal t) ) ; silently save ... kill
(defalias 'quit 'emacs-quit-no-confirm)
(defalias 'quit-emacs 'emacs-quit-no-confirm)
(defalias 'emacs-quit 'emacs-quit-no-confirm)
(define-key (current-global-map)
[remap save-buffers-kill-terminal] #'emacs-quit-no-confirm)
