You can download Olive Video Editor form the download page, the Linux version is distribute as an AppImage package, which should run on many GNU/Linux distributions without requiring to install dependencies, etc. This is partially true: I managed to start the program on my Debian 12 Bookworm computer, but the program freezes too frequently! I have the autosave function enabled, so I loose only one minute of work in case of crash/freeze, but restarting the work three or four times per hour is rather frustrating.

It turned out that compiling the progrm from the sources (the same GitHub commit) solved the problem.
