Two versions of Lmms
Posted: Mon Oct 21, 2019 1:06 pm
I know 1.2.0 is superior in every way to 1.1.3... Or is it?
Sure everything is better, but there's one big reason I keep 1.1.3 on my lowest end hardware: it's lighter.
What I mean is that 1.1.3 LMMS takes so little to run I can basically run it on a computer with Intel celeron and 2gb of ram that barely runs windows 10. Sure it's a little laggy but it's so much better than running 1.2.0 on that machine. So I propse you this:
if you can, how about having the full 1.2.0, and a separate lightweight version for those who got their mother's handmedowns?
Of course, I know maintaining two versions is time consuming and difficult, and there are new bugs with every new version that has to be fixed, so I'm not asking for this to happen soon.
