Kdenlive, easily. The only other video editor that feels good to use on Linux is the non-FOSS DaVinci Resolve (which requires paying for you to get any practical codec support).

Some people say Blender, but those people must not work on very complicated projects...

For simple cutting & slicing I honestly just write ffmpeg oneliners.

+1 fo ffmpeg and not having to install another tool for a single task.

I do not edit videos, I just record with obs-studio and cut out unneeded parts. ffmpeg does that, it does so fast and without any problems + it also works for converting videos to another codec.

FFMPEG is nice when you do something like ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -ss 00:01:00 -t 00:03:00 out.mp4 and the result is almost instant as there's no re-encoding.

FYI - you only need -c copy and do not need to specify acodec and vcodec, if both of them are going to be copy anyway.
