This is a decent introduction to the important commands:

Perhaps you want to read the Debian Administrator's Handbook? 

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-handbook/

Or an introduction to Linux command line work?

Or to BASH?

Your question is very unfocused.

_Definitely_ not blindly.

For example, among the highest-time processes on my system I currently
see xfce4-panel, Xorg, apcupsd, rclone and a few ZFS housekeeping
processes. Among slightly lower times, there's xfwm4, pipewire and
systemd-journal. (All of these share the trait that they also have
been running for a long period of wallclock time.) Another that could
show up would likely be qemu/KVM related processes for long-running
VMs, but I don't have any up and running currently. And if I'm doing
something like watching a movie, mpv or one of its friends would
probably be right up there as well.

Killing those would have potentially severe negative impacts on my
ability to actually use the computer to perform normal, useful tasks.

_That a process is doing a lot of work doesn't by itself mean that it
shouldn't be running._
