i recently switched back to Linux Mint as well. If you have no soft synths, these will be older versions but quickest way to get them. just type in your terminal with root access (assuming you have the space),

apt install zynaddsubfx yoshimi amsynth add64 synthv1 padthv1 samplv1 drumkv1 mda-lv2 calf-plugins lsp-plugins qsynth fluidsynth carla calf-plugins avldrums.lv2

these will give you basic synths and effects as well as an mda piano and epiano and avldrums

i personally don't use soundfont files so i can't say for certain or how, but i heard carla can load soundfont files.

then just go in Qtractor, add plugin, and search for em. (they should be automatically added to /usr/lib/lv2 or /usr/local/lib/2 which Qtractor detects out the box afaik)

you can also find and download .deb or archive files for Helm, Dexed, Surge-XT, TAL plugins etc, and copy the extracted files to the aforementioned lv2 folders or manually add their path in Qtractor settings.
