For MIDI I know of Timidity and Fluidsynth. The latter is supposedly better than the former.
I'm not too musical, but I do know that the instrument samples Ubuntu has, freepats, are terrible. I think aiming to extend the collection to cover as much as possible should be the first priority, with quality only being important once general MIDI can actually be played.
As far as I was aware Windows uses hardware MIDI via a PC soundcard, meaning the Windows "bank of sounds" is actually the sound card's. I believe Linux hasn't defaulted to hardware MIDI since it runs on such a range of devices that requiring a MIDI-capable sound card would be restrictive. Don't know whether this assumption should be questioned for Ubuntu (which only supports X86/64 architectures anyway).

Guitar Pro works very well with Wine. You just need to install timidity and a good soundfond. I agree it should be easier ton configure it.
