There seems to have been a misunderstanding; sorry for confus
Unfortunately I don´t understand your answer.

Now I did a guix pull in root.
It asks me at the end:
Hinweis: Nachdem Sie `PATH' festgelegt haben, sollten Sie `hash guix'
ausführen, damit Ihre Shell `/root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix' verwendet.
What does it mean?
How do I "PATH"...

This is correct. As far as Guix is concerned “ro

I started to read the manual, but didn´t yet come across this.
When you install a package in an other Linux distro, it will be
available in the system.
In guix it is different. I installed e.g. hplip,
system-config-printer,cups, cups-filters, but additionally I have to add
the printer settin
When I am getting to know a new Linux distro, my first approach is, to
find out, what the meaning of the name of this Linux distro is about.
I checked on the web, what meaning "guix" has, but I didn´t find anything.
Could somebody explain to me what '"Guix" means?
This is the file content of /etc/config.scm file: (*bold* are my
printer settings for better finding and reading)

Xterm is a terminal emulator, not a shell.
I am sorry, I meant a terminal emulator.
Which other terminal emulators are useful, because I want to install a
second one (in case of emergency, because I messed the one I had up,

In other Linux distros there is always an immediate announcement if
there are security updates and package updates available.
In guix system it seems, according to Your answer, it does not
happen. (May be in future if it will be developed?)

is there a possibility to run a guix pull for root and for the user
together, in order not to do it twice, because it needs quite a long
time, compared to other Linux distros, where updating takes only some
minutes. (Debian based distros, Manjaro, Endeavour OS and so on).

Hi,
When I was installing guix as my Linux system, it didn´t install a
printer. Is this the normal habit of guix?
It is difficult for newcomers (who are not used to the command line and
didn´t study computers) to install a printer, so I would suggest that
the guix team adds a printer install
Hi,
when I am using Mate in guix system installed, Mate shell is based on

Do I have to install "bash" and "sh" shell through the command: guix

What would be the benefit of installing bash and sh shell?

Apparently, it's now fixed:
