Openshot? Did you check this site https://alternativeto.net/ for alternatives? If all you do is cutting videos, then maybe losslesscut would be good for you too.

Have you looked at kdenlive?
Since you already like Shotcut, two small GNOME-style apps can cover the light jobs, so you only open Shotcut when you need a real timeline:
- Video Trimmer (GNOME Circle): open a clip, drag the start and end, save. Very quick for trimming a single clip.
- Footage (Flathub): a little libadwaita app for trimming, cropping, rotating and converting one video.
Neither does multi-clip timelines, titles or transitions, so they sit next to Shotcut rather than replace it.
On Pitivi itself: it still installs from Flathub, but the last stable release was 2023.03 and development is very slow, so I wouldn't build a routine around it.
And if Shotcut feels busy for quick edits, the presets under View > Layout (Player or Logging, for example) hide most of the panels and make it a lot calmer.
This is great! Didn’t know about footage but had played with video trimmer.
I tried pitivi for a couple days and just ran into to many crashes and so I think it isn’t a real option currently.
I think removing unnecessary panels in shotcut is pretty close to perfect. Enough for now definitely
