I tried to used Kdenlive to make some very simple videos (a couple of fade-in, fade-out, some overlays here and there). Even with the latest versions (and me being a very patient person) it suffered from stability problems: random crashes, file saving problems, file corruption, horrible preview mode.
I don't know on Linux, but for Windows I also had to search around and manually install some codecs because otherwise it wouldn't render to a given format (I believe it was mp4).

Amusingly, I had exactly the opposite experience on Windows - OpenShot crashed constantly, and Kdenlive was completely solid. I wonder whether we had different system setups, or were just using different builds?

I had the same experience running OpenShot on Windows and could barely get it to run for five minutes straight without crashing on very basic video editing. :(

Then I've found OpenShot, that was enough for my requirements (https://www.openshot.org/). It has a Linux version. Source code here: https://github.com/OpenShot/openshot-qt
