I still spend more time on Windows than Linux and I find it much easier to do basic trimming, splicing, resizing, cropping, and other very basic edits of video with just the ffmpeg CLI.
If we're suggesting a GUI for basic trimming and splicing, I prefer Avidemux, it supports cutting without transcoding the whole video (as long as you cut on an I-frame), saving time and reducing artefacts.
