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.)

For me, I found Kdenlive decently intuitive (at least in comparison to "professional" options like davinci resolve. I haven't ever video edited much and I was able to pick up easily without watching any video tutorials). You add video and audio clips, drag them into the timeline, and use the split tool for cutting. Then you can drag the edge of clips to adjust the length, and you drag an effect from the effects menu. One effect I like to use is the "Freeze" one, so I can freeze a frame of a video for a bit. Pretty neat.

Also, on Kdenlive, you can disable most of the windows that you don't require which is pretty neat.
