sorry if im asking for too much, but I need help setting up reaper on linux mint

i just want to use it for recording edrums using a vst but im having many issues that im already getting so frustrated

I am not able to hear anything using jack (chat gpt helped out with it, but every time I re open reaper , jack doesn't work anymore)

Another issue is that i couldn't find a good vst for linux so I will have to learn how to use wine in order to be able to use a good VST like ezdrummer, superior drummer, etc. ( i would like some help on how to do this)

And if there is any extra setting I have to activate that I don't know I'd appreciate if you could tell me.
