@InvaderSumo :-
Depends on what your definition IS of "really good video editor software". As JasKinasis says above, those 3 -
Openshot,
Flowblade &
KDEnlive - are going to be the most obvious candidates. Personally, I don't like Flowblade and /or KDEnlive.......I've been using Openshot for some years, and it does what I want; it's easy-to-use, and it's fuss-free in operation.
Do bear in mind that a ton of complicated extra features doesn't necessarily make something better. There's a lot to be said for the K.I.S.S principle, y'know?
Then there's
Cinelerra 'GG' Infinity ( something of a learning-curve with this one! ).......and there is also
Lightworks, which has taken-over as my main 'project' editor now. This is rather like a cross between Openshot & KDEnlive on super-steroids, along with a much nicer interface.

Corel's site clearly states it's for Windows ONLY.....and the only free stuff you'll get from them are time-limited trials. And their stuff doesn't play at all nice with any of the Windows emulation stuff.....not even WINE itself.
Waste of time as far as I'm concerned. Like most software houses, they're all about making money.......and Windows is by far the biggest market out there.
You've gotta drop the Windoze mind-set.

IF you're feeling very brave, there's
DaVinci Resolve.....but I wouldn't recommend it
unless you're the type that really relishes an uphill struggle! Just as on Windows, it requires a powerful, top-end, discrete GPU running the very newest official drivers, you MUST always be on the newest version of your OS.....and this one will only run under particular distros anyway. Until a couple of years ago, it could be installed elsewhere without TOO much hassle.....but it now only comes as a .run file, PLUS it really expects to find itself hooked-up to a small fortune in BlackMagic Design's own hyper-expensive recording studio hardware. NOT for beginners, this one..!!
(I'll stick with Openshot for day-to-day stuff, and Lightworks for bigger projects, thank you very much. The latter does pretty much everything DaVinci does, is simpler to use & is a lot less hassle to install.....)
DON'T expect to be able to run any of Adobe's stuff, or Final Cut 'Pro'.....or anything like that. These are complete non-starters under Linux. Literally!!
