I got a USB midi keyboard (pictured) from a friend but I don't know what software I should use to play it.

I'm running Ubuntu with KDE Plasma and am hoping for software that's simple to setup & use. the keyboard is for simple musical tinkering.

    it doesn't produce sound on its own so I believe it needs a DAW to be usable.

      There are free software synths https://linuxsynths.com/

      Reaper is an essentially free DAW, what I don’t like about LMMS is that it can’t take in audio inputs otherwise it’s good fun
