DaVinci Resolve is THE video editor on Linux. Unfortunately the libre apps for it don’t get even close, to the point that even with all the limitations in the free and paid versions, it still is the best option.
Also shout out to Bitwig Studio, although I don’t use it.

Honestly IMO it’s not even a comparison whatsoever. Kdenlive cannot be used professionally for any real work, it will just crash on you before you even find out it can’t even do what you want. I’ve tried it off and on for many years and it’s always a massive disappointment compared to pro solutions.
In the past 5 years stability has improved significantly, like I haven’t had a crash in the past year of casual use. ymmv but I would recommend it to new users at this point.

KDEndlive is pretty solid, imho
It is, but when it comes to more complex needs, it falls short. It is really good for simpler editing needs and it is getting better fast.
