Electronic music icon Korg makes music with Raspberry Pi
There's a bunch of people doing some pretty amazing synth builds with the Raspberry Pi -- the Zynthian crew [0] springs to mind.
Basically bring your own USB midi keyboard / controller - these tend to be cheap, but also engender very strong opinions, so there's some distinct advantages to having them as separate components, but with the synth box being much more portable than a laptop or desktop.
As to the Korg Wavestate - on this side of the pond (AU) it has an RRP of A$1500, though street pricing is around A$1000.

Help starting out a DIY synth guitar project
Another option might be to get a Raspberry Pi and a USB audio interface to run Zynthian. Zynthian can be built from scratch with a TV, mouse and keyboard. You will need the USB audio for a line input from your amp. Heaps of DIY learning building your own Zynthian. You can scale up to the full hardware kit if you like what you see.

Ardour 7.0 has been released
Exactly opposite situation in my case - my Ubuntu Studio rig has been rock solid for tracking and many projects .. but the good news is that even if, for whatever reason, you can't qite grok things to be as productive as a pro Ubuntu Studio user (hint: you can) we have all the good things happening in ZynthianOS to explore, anyway - and this just wraps up the same essential goodies into a hardware device that is push-button-user friendly:
And of course there are bleeding edge lessons learned, applied in things like monome, etc.
- Raspberry Pi in synths?
- Supply chain issues are killing synth companies
-
Using MIDI to trigger SysEx messages
Some other hardware options Blokas MidiHub and Faderfox EC4 which I think both can send SysEX. You could do midi routing with a Raspberry Pi based platform like Zynthian but that might be a bit of overkill.

Is there any Linux distro dedicated to music performance around?
ZynthianOS:
Monome NORNS:
https://monome.org/docs/norns/shield/
Both of these Linux vendors have created what you describe - definitely worth checking out if you are a performing musician. These machines transform into viable, usable instruments - you don't have to do much Linux hacking, you can just plug in and play, like any other electronic musical instrument, and some of the stuff in the NORNS community is amazing for live performance (actually most of it is):
Both systems will let you play with MOD DUO, which is a plug and play effects system that kicks serious ass:
https://moddevices.com/devices/dwarf/
Other than that - definitely check out Ubuntu Studio, as others have mentioned. I've been running it for a decade as a production DAW in my studio and it really kicks ass... you will be astonished at what is included, out of the box ..
- What "platforms" and languages do digital synths and samplers run on generally? Is there something that is stable and proven? I need a starting point

Open source hardware synths
I don't have first hand experience with it, but Zynthian is FOSS.

MIT 6.S081 – Operating System Engineering
Does studying toy operating systems teach strictly more, or just different skills, than studying bare-metal embedded frameworks like https://github.com/rsta2/circle (which powers https://github.com/dwhinham/mt32-pi, unlike Zynthian which is Linux-based (https://zynthian.org/#software))? I dropped out of uni before completing my OS course, and I planned to look into mt32-pi, but sadly struggled with hardware and software setup (all the good MT-32 patch editors are for obsolete platforms and many are gone from the Internet).
