What's the Windows Movie Maker equivalent for Linux? (feddit.org)

Back in my teenage years I remember making music videos to my favorite songs in WMM. It didn't require any previous knowledge about cutting or other video editing tools. It was just simple and intuitive.

Is there an equivalent for Linux that's as easy as intuitive as WMM was? Something I could put in front of someone without previous knowlegde in editing and they could still wrap their heads around in just a few minutes?

(And please don't say Kdenlive. Have you ever tried to add a simple effect like blur to a part of a video? It's super cumbersome.)

Openshot looks pleasing to the eye and seems easy to use but I didn't use it myself

Shotcut is in my opinion easy to use but is more similar to davinci resolve than to WMM

Good to know, Davinci is awesome!
