It's underdeveloped, and certainly not 100% functioning. So for effective use, another year?

In LMMS I select every other note so: 2th,4th,6th,8th.

Then set quantization to 1/64 or 1/92.

Then I move the selected noted till it sounds right.

This should work in about every daw.

I noticed this also in a vid of albeton, were there was a swing dial to do this.

I have been asking for swing, humanization and groove quantization in LMMS for years.

Although it can be a lot of work, when we understand what is happening we can do this manual note by note.

I know Cubase can do it, it already could on an Atari ST. :(
Albeton another program, without a Linux version can do it too. :(
You can pick grooves from a list.

Yes, inputting the swing manually is always good for hands-on... :D

Found an interesting vid.

He is just messing with the velocity. I can do this in LMMS.

He then uses a swing dial, but we can do this in the piano roll. (or what ever that is called in other daw)

Just move certain notes ahead or backwards.
