From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is Shotcut any good? Why would I pick it over Kdenlive?
I'm not sure I agree with the other OP, I haven't used Kdenlive, but I thought it lacked OpenGL and Decklink support compared to Shotcut. Personally been very happy with Shotcut after using Premier and After Effects previously.
I think its a bit easier to use than kdenlive. I'd say it's a little bit less full featured than kdenlive
