Does Avidemux run on Linux?
Verdict: Yes
Yes. Avidemux is free software published under the GNU GPL and the project lists Linux alongside Windows, macOS and BSD. It does the same cutting, filtering and converting it does on Windows.
The Avidemux site says plainly that it runs on Linux, BSD, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows, and that it is distributed under the GNU GPL. Most Linux distributions carry it in their app store, so there is nothing to buy and usually nothing to download by hand.
The program itself does not change. It is still the simple tool for chopping the start and end off a video, joining two files, changing the container, or re-encoding without opening a full editor. Menus, filters and job queue all behave the same way.
Any settings and custom scripts you built on Windows can be copied across, though it is often quicker to redo them since there are rarely many. Your video files are ordinary MP4, MKV and AVI files, so nothing needs converting to move.
One thing worth saying honestly. Avidemux is a cutting and converting tool, not an editor. If you had been using it for anything with a timeline, Shotcut or Kdenlive will suit you better on Linux.
