I've been using lmms in Linux for a couple years in various Ubuntu and Debian based distros from 16.04 - 17.10. I've also ran it in the kxstudio distro on and off.
Now I know a lot of work goes into lmms and other projects Falktx is in charge of and resources are limited. However, lmms crashes constantly. No matter what distro, no matter how I set it up. It doesn't matter whether or not I run Windows VST's (although it crashes far more often with them). Sometimes it'll crash just sitting idle with a blank project in it.
Instead of making this some sort of unconstructive rant, I want to try to help. I love the concept of the program and it fits my workflow the best. I'm no coder but I want to contribute somehow. I want to help make lmms better. I've never submitted a bug report in my life and the explanation on Github was a little confusing but I'm willing to learn.
So I'm here, how can I help?
