I would say try to focus getting printing done. 

Software out there is so many, so always focus on what you really need
in your life.

Interest in software may waste decades of life, and you forget to do
your life.

I can't say that is distribution for beginners. There is also Guix
mailing list where you can write and ask for help on how to install
packages.

I do not know nothing about "pags" and maybe you meant "paps". But
that is not the way to install it.

I explained, you could install it in your home directory with

$ configure --prefix=~/.local/share
$ make
$ make install

That is not place to install system command "paps". That is directory
which Emacs uses to install Emacs packages, but "paps" program is not
Emacs package. I have made Emacs package for it.

OK but that version may be outdated one.
