Good luck to you. I've found editing video on Linux to be pretty easy provided the correct software renderer utilities are installed when transcoding a video. Never used kdenlive though.

Which one do you use? Kdenlive seems pretty OK so far.

I use shotcut, which is more an artifact of it being the first one I tried in fedora that I liked. I got too used to the hotkeys and now learning a new one would just be frustrating. I've also used ffmpeg to transcode video (not edit) via CLI, but that's more to improve YouTube processing times.
