That looks great.  I wonder though if this is as clear as can be?
Would you mind considering a suggestion as feedback.

"Now it prints this info immediately:

$ blender
If 'blender' is not a typo you can run the following command to lookup
the package that contains the binary:
    command-not-found blender
bash: blender: command not found

$ ifconfig
Absolute path to 'ifconfig' is '/sbin/ifconfig', so it might be
intended to be run only by user with superuser privileges (eg. root).
bash: ifconfig: command not found
"

Suggested simpler text

$ blender
If 'blender' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the
package that contains it, like this :
    command-not-found blender
bash: blender: command not found

$ ifconfig
'ifconfig' has path '/sbin/ifconfig', so it may require root
privileges should typing /sbin/ifconfig fail to work correctly
bash: ifconfig: command not found


This seems simpler to understand, and avoids geek speak words like
'binary', without being ambiguous, and gives good hints towards 'best
practice'.
