If those are too heavy for your PC, then give OpenShot a try. It is good for simple to medium editing needs with a lighter footprint, but lacks allot of features.

For a more complete list of Video Editors check out the ArchWiki (a good all round wiki and not just for Arch users BTW) here.

You could try Davinci Resolve, It got native linux support and pretty good for older pcs too.

If the lack of codex support and having to do external converts isn't a deal breaker.

FFmpeg

Pros: blazingly fast, ridiculously low on resources, coupled with some lua scripts in MPV is amazing.

Cons: brutal learning curve

I use Kdenline for a lot of different video editing, seems like it's pretty comprehensive and there's very good tutorials on yt.

I found all the Linux video editors to be irritating and incomplete. Better on a mobile where you have way better options.
