It isn't open source, but DaVinci Resolve is available for Linux. With limited features if you don't pay. Might be overkill for what you do, and I understand it can be finicky to get it working (needs nvidia, poor support for AMD, very limited format support unless you get the paied version, ...).

I don't really do video stuff, but I did play around with it a few years ago, and it seemed very comprehensive.

Yeah that was the first one I tried. I was very excited about it too. But it would not run on my hardware.
