I feel strongly that I had done simple drag and drop before, but doing some searches it sure sounds like I must be imagining it. I never tried it with Linux. There's a guitar pedals !guitarpedals@lemmy.world community that you might try cross-posting to.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I got a reply from someone who had got it working under Wine before, so I will go ahead and order it. I will check if the drag and drop-approach works then as well, which would be preferable for any custom tracks. I'll update on what I find out when I get the pedal!
And thanks for the link to the community, I will definitely follow that one. I fear this can become a very expensive hobby, I have gone from 0 to 3 in a short time, and I find myself wanting ones that I currently don't have the skills to make proper use of...

One of us! One of us! 😅
In the RC-5 settings, if you have some USB settings, see if you can set it to "Mass Storage". Usually Boss loopers can be used like any USB drive. Warning: if it works, keep the directory tree intact!
From the tutorial video I saw (for Windows), that is how you would do it. But it seemed to me that it was not as simple as just dragging in the files, and that you had to use the software to write the files. Another reply here gave two solutions that had worked, so I am just about to order one now. I can update here with what I find when I just browse the file structure.
It works in wine but if you can’t get it working in wine then a vm with usb passthrough works too.
I have used these two solutions with this equipment in the past.
Perfect, good to know! Then I will go for it!
