Re: install downloaded deb package?

[Steve George]

Hi,

No you can't.

Debian packages (.deb files) work with the Debian package manager. Guix is an 
alternative, it can be used:

1. As a full Linux distribution (so a replacement for all of Debian)
2. As a package manager *on top of* an existing distribution (e.g. Debian)

I personally run Guix as a package manager on top of Ubuntu: I use 
Debian/Ubuntu packages for some areas and then use Guixs' packages for all my 
user tools/libraries.

Hope that's clear - best of luck!

Futurile / Steve
