All the ones that keep getting recommended have a UI like a cockpit of a Boeing 747 (kdenlive, shotcut, openshot, DaVinci resolve) which is so overwhelming, all I want is just make some cuts, blur a face, or something on the screen, and maybe add some subtitles.
I just want something simple, I am not gonna make the next Avatar movie.
I have a feeling there is nothing like this on linux but hey maybe one of you actually knows of one.


Very interesting, but seems way more complicated than just using a UI. 😂
I super agree. I try to do as much as possible on Linux via GUI because I can remember where a button is, but I can’t remember all the flags and parameter quirks of each command.
I just enjoy looking shit up for strangers on the internet and being a smartass …
I have no problem using the terminal, its very useful, but trying to edit a video like that seems like an exercise in masochism.
for me even typing “sudo pacman -Syu” is masochism compared to just pressing the “Update” button in the gui package manager.
for one video, absolutely. for fifty? it’s a lifesaver.
