if you find a debian program on the internet and download the deb
file, can you install it on quix? Downloaded deb packages
can get installed on guix? Thanks.

You should probably use distrobox for that, it's available in Guix default channel.

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
