I hate how capcut has gotten to. Ive tried davcihi resolve but i find it isint as easy as capcut. I want to try a open source video editor for my linux mint laptop that is really free and so easy even a child could learn it.
Im up for suggestions or a change of my mindset.

KDENlive
I recently tried KDENlive for the first time lately and had a ton of stability issues. Multiple segfaults, corrupted saves, etc. Is that par for the course of the tool? Seems like it might have core issues with the implementation if a brand new user can crash it.
Which version did you try? I used the 24.12.something version earlier this year for some rather complicated project and it was very stable.
I know they had stability issues before but not with that version. Disclaimer: I did not do video editing since, so I cannot say if the stability issues are back.
I have version 25.04.2, was just doing a simple edit trying to overlay annotations on a screen recording so nothing crazy effects-wise. Guess I should go read the patch notes.
There’s also Shotcut, which is similar to KDENLive
I saw https://opencut.app/ recently, could be worth a try.
blender has a fairly simple video editor
There is nothing like CapCut for Linux. There’s Resolve, LightWorks, Shotcut, Kdenlive and the less evolved, Openshot. That’s it, all the other editors found online or suggested here are nowhere near completion. Also, none of them have the feel of Capcut with its AI and advanced automatic features. If you want to go open source, I’d suggest you learn to use kdenlive. It’s good enough with manual workarounds, as long as you don’t shoot in 10bit or in RAW or need complex color grading. If you really require automatic AI stuff like in Capcut, stay with Windows/Mac or a tablet. That’s the reality.
