I think KDEnlive is good as well, definitely the least terrible FOSS one. I never used Premiere Pro on that advanced a level, but for basic effects, keyframes, and title cards, it does quite well.
The main proprietary, “professional” one on Linux is Da Vinci Resolve, but I’ve never used it on Linux, since KDEnlive is just fine for me.
Honestly, in my opinion, every video editor is terrible to some extent; it’s having to deal with enormous amounts of data every second more than almost any other program on a computer, and even a semi-usable editor is a mind-bogglingly impressive feat.
Now that you mention it, one of my favorite YouTubers, Usagi Electric, recently switched to Linux, and had to find a new video editor. I believe he’s using davinci as well.
But I agree, they’re all a little terrible. But they’re doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Kdenlive did crash in me once, and I hadn’t saved in a long time. But I gave it a pass because of the aforementioned heavy lifting, and also it let me “recover” my project, and dropped me back exactly where I was, I lost maybe one most-recent action. You love to see it.

Thanks! Glad I made a good choice.
