Welcome!
The problem here is that Guix is not your average package manager, so
not everything will automatically correspond:
> sudo apt update
``guix pull'' (note: *no sudo*) which updates both guix itself and its
package collection (found in the same repo).
> sudo apt upgrade
``guix upgrade'' for user packages, if you're using the ``guix package''
style of package management. ``sudo guix system reconfigure
/etc/config.scm'' for system packages, which essentially updates and
recreates your entire system from the manifest that is found by default
at ``/etc/config.scm''.

``guix install'' or ``guix package -i'' (the former is an alias for the
latter) for user packages if you're using the ``guix package`` style of
package management, or editing ``/etc/config.scm'' and reconfiguring as
above for system packages.
> sudo apt remove --purge (package name)
There's not really a way to do ``--purge'', but if you do ``guix
remove'' or ``guix package -r'', or reconfigure after removing a package
from ``/etc/config.scm'', and then do ``guix gc'', it'll remove all
unused files (specifically, it removes everything in ``/gnu/store'' that
isn't used in any guix 'profiles').
> sudo apt search (package name)
``guix search''.
> sudo apt autoremove
Removing packages from any profiles will also remove unused
dependencies, but will not delete them from the store. ``guix gc'' will
remove unused store items.
