Can anyone steer me to any others? I don't know of any books, but you can download the Guix manual in PDF format to learn about Guix, the package manager, and Guix System, the full GNU operating system (https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/guix.pdf). That could help if you don't have regular access to the Internet. As for GNOME, if you decide to install Guix System with the GNOME desktop environment, once you log in to the desktop you will be presented with some Getting Started videos and documentation. You can then search the complete GNOME Help and other kind of documentation as you need it.

Can anyone steer me to any others? The definitive and most up-to-date documentation on Guix (both the package manager and the OS built around it) is the Guix Info Pages. On any machine with Guix (and the "info" command installed), simply type this at your terminal (don't type the dollar sign): $ info guix Then read away to your heart's content.

paper book(s) on guix use
I am new both to GNU/Linux and to 21st century computers, and I have very little experience with any graphic user interface. GUIs are often said to be "intuitive", but I never found them so. But I think I will soon need to use Gnome and/or Mate. I am also a beginner at internet/web access, depending so far on a cell phone. I've been searching the web for a physical book on how to use Guix. I have yet found only one such book, through the web: "Mastering Gnome", by Bryan Pfaffenberger. Can anyone steer me to any others?
