No luck in finding the VST3 of Stochas. Not with the Stochas versions 1.3.4, 1.3.5, 1.3.8, 1.3.9, anyway. Each is a Stochas.so library for linux-x86_64, yet none are found when scanned by MusE or Carla as VST3.
For vst3 it's important to use the following directory structure; each plugin has its own plugin.vst3 folder inside the main vst3 plugins folder, and the actual plugin.so must be put inside even more subdirs. The entire path is:
~/.vst3/Stochas.vst3/Contents/x86_64-linux/Stochas.so
MusE won't find any vst3's. With Carla, you have to specify the plugin paths (~/.vst3 in this case) for each plugin format in settings>configure Carla>plugin paths, before scanning for them in add plugin>format=vst3>refresh.

FYI: I am using Carla-Rack to avoid using Jack which I've always had difficulties with.
As Jack is probably here to stay, I can see I'll have to cross that bridge sometime soon.
What difficulty do you have? Afaik it's just a matter of installing jackd2 from your distro's repository, tweaking your system for realtime audio performance (realtimeconfigquickscan, or rtcqs, can help you out), and running qjackctl to start the jack server, and for configuration and connections management.
By the way, for Carla, MusE, and QJackCtl some repository versions may be ancient. For Carla, you could use the kx.studio repository (and then you can run the latest carla-git version 2.6), and for musE and QJackCtl you could use their appimages.
