Was that the latest LMMS, 1.2.2 ?
Most distros seem to be be stuck at 1.3.
It's one reason why there is now an appimage version of LMMS.
1.3 is more than 1.2.2.
Probably you meant 1.1.3
At LMMS website, stable version is 1.2.2 and 1.3 is a nightly alpha version. Debian testing and sid have 1.2.2
I prefer to avoid containerised applications except for demo purposes. Appimage is the least worst, but has its own problems. Snap and flatpak are diseases on Linux.
You are right as in 1.2.2 being the one we want, and 1.1.3 being the old version.
I am a long time member of the LMMS forum, and still about every week somebody post a problem with LMMS.
On Linux it not having vst support, and on windows and Linux, them using an old version.
On Linux allot of wine related issues. The part I don't get I never had a problem with wine and LMMS on openSUSE.
The first time you start LMMS, after installation or after a wine update, you should see some wine set up done, when you try to load a vst.
Maybe allot of people cancel this ?
On openSUSE I have nothing to complain, although I will admit there were problems in the past.
I love the current LMMS package builder of openSUSE, he compiles Carla and LMMS for us (and some more)
I saw him filing a bug report at the LMMS github and at the wine HQ.
Some dependency issue.
I know an appimage file is not the Linux way, we should install software though our repositories.
Still I like it, one file for all distro I know.
Linus Torvalds seems to like the appimage solution. It does solve some problems of differences between distro's.
An appimage file contains all the libs the program needs.
