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.)

Did you just list everyone you know or are these specific recommendations?
It’s my personal top candidates in the order of my preference (best to worst) from my notes when I was researching this topic for my parents. (funnily enough, they ultimately settled on kdenlive, despite not being very computer proficient, because they found more step by step yt guides for what they wanted to do with it)
All still actively maintained.
I played around with each of those for a bit some time ago and they were quite similar, so you can pick by your personal preference.
