Sorry, I'm a German and I only speak German and have to struggle with
English. Maybe I can write later again, to give you better information.

Push Alt+F2 and type

qsynth

Push Alt+F2 and type

qsampler

Try to load your samples.

I'm running KDE at the moment, so I can't say how to find the
applications by the Gnome menu. Genome is your desktop environment, the
"Windows" of your Linux, for me this is KDE. Hehe, I hope this won't
cause a tumult .

What format are the waves? 44100KHz 16-bit, simple PCM waves without any
sound sample synthesizer format?

Yes, I'm a musician. This is my second hardware that isn't fine with
pro-audio Linux and even if you will have better luck, it depends to
your needs, if you will be fine with Linux.

Please search for it by using google. I would say it's possible to do
professional audio work in home studios by using Linux only.
I'm very poor for an European and had bad luck with my motherboards, if
you have some money it should be possible to get the right hardware and
maybe the hardware you have is fine with Linux.

When you are talking about homerecording I guess you don't need
polyrhythm. Polyrhythm often is needed to fix sound effects to film,
while you wish to change the tempo of the music. Extravagant features
like this aren't advantages of Linux.

Depending to the music you make, you might hear that sync isn't perfect.

I wasn't able to do a job becauase of Linux and now there will be
another project, so I'll have to repair my Atari ST running Cubase 3.1.
Even if your hardware is fine with Linux, you won't get such a good
sequencer for Linux, but I think for most needs you don't need a
sequencer like Cubase.

I'm not familiar with Ardour, but this seems to be a professional hard
disk recorder, only the mixer seems to be less good than those for
expensive Windows and MacOS digital audio workstations.

A very good application is JAMin. It's one of the best compressors I
ever heard and as an audio engineer I heard very expensive tube
compressors. Those expensive tube compressors have a better sound
quality, because of no dither and no sound card, but the compression
wasn't better.

The question is, what does fit to your needs and to your ears.

Maybe you can use Linux even if there will be some handicaps for you.
Linux isn't a company, the community is sharing knowledge. There are
non-free algorithms for digital signal processing, that are better than
those free and open once for Linux, but the commercial thinking of
companies can't be the future. We need free and opened knowledge.

Thank you, have nice night too. HTH is for 'hope this helps'.

Than you might like a terminal emulation like Yakuake and by the way try

Some people don't know that there is a Google for Linux only,
