I need to create a sheet while I play. How do I do this best? I want to just play the song and my PC does the rest, so I just need to print/play afterwards.

AS an aside, you may want to look at Ubuntu Studio if you are going do a lot of multimedia.
IMHO the easiest is musecore (also called mscore as the binary is mscore), it is probably included in Ubuntu Studio.
To install see https://musescore.org/en/node/75936
# To add the PPA if you don't already have it:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mscore-ubuntu/mscore-stable
# To install or upgrade MuseScore:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install musescore
mscore will import a mdmi file.

or you can imput with your keyboard

Or more specifically https://musescore.org/en/handbook/note-input#midi-keyboard
MIDI keyboard You can also insert pitches using a MIDI keyboard.
Connect your MIDI keyboard to the computer and switch the former on
Start MuseScore (this must be done after the keyboard is switched on)
Create a new score Click the rest (selecting it) in measure 1 to indicate where you want note input to begin Press N to enter note input mode Select a note duration such as 5 for quarter notes (crotchets), as described above Press a note on your MIDI keyboard The pitch should be added to your score.
Note: The MIDI keyboard enters one note or chord at a time. This mode of note input (often called "step-time entry") is fast and reliable.
