There's no reason why that (using a class compliant MIDI USB device) would not just work out of the box. I have more than a dozen MIDI/USB devices in front of me, and they all work on a plug-n-play basis with my Linux systems. Some of them actually a little better on Linux than on macOS.

What actual problems were you facing?

I was trying to get tracktion waveform 8 to see a behringer crave synthesizer. It has a built in sequencer so wanted to record the notes programmed on the behringer

if you can recommend a different forum to ask about this, please go ahead

unix.stackexchange.com (or askubuntu.com); midi.org/forum; alsa-user mailing list; linux-audio-user mailing list

Please check if the device shows up in the output of "lsusb", "amidi -l", and "arecordmidi -l".
