Openshot Video Editor - an easy to use feature filled video editor for Linux.

In addition to all the features highlighted, I encourage you to explore the application separately to see if it fits your requirements.

If you are not interested to give it a try, you can first take a look at its official user guide to see what else it offers including the key features I mention here.

Below is the list of key highlights:

• Cross-platform support: This is much-needed support because creators/editors need to have the flexibility of using the same software on multiple platforms anywhere they work at. It is also worth noting that the saved project files are also cross-platform.
• Support for various Audio/Video/Image formats: It uses FFmpeg library – so it can work with most of the major audio/video and image formats in the timeline.
• Drag and drop support: Being able to interact and drop files from your desktop to the timeline is always a plus. So, with OpenShot, you can do that.
• Unlimited Tracks: Some video editors used to limit the number of tracks/layers you can create per timeline. But, here, you get to create as much as you want (of course, it has to be practical).
• Basic video manipulation: A video editor can only come in handy if it can easily let you trim, clip, resize, snap, rotate, and cut the video. Here, you get all that.
• Real-time previews: You do not have to render or play the video separately when applying a transition, you can preview that in real-time.
• 3D Animated Texts & Effects: Along with the generic text editor (with title templates) and video effects, you have got some options for 3D effects and texts as well.
• Advanced timeline: Just like you’d expect for any modern video editor, you can easily drag and drop stuff, zoom, pan, and control snapping for easily managing the content in the timeline.
• Audio mixing and editing: Interestingly, it also supports audio editing features such as displaying the waveform or split the audio from your video.

For what it offers – it definitely seems to be one of the simplest yet feature-rich video editors available for Linux.
