Verdict: Yes
Yes. Clipchamp is a browser-based video editor, so it opens and works in Chrome on Linux with your existing Microsoft account. Only the separate Windows app version is unavailable.
Clipchamp began as a website and Microsoft still runs it that way. The site says you can create videos from your web browser without downloading any software, and there is a Windows app in the Start menu as a convenience rather than as the main product. Sign in at clipchamp.com on Linux and your projects are there.
A browser is a browser, so use a current Chrome or Edge on Linux for the smoothest run. Firefox works for most editing, but video export is heavy work and Chrome tends to handle it better. Both are free and both install from the app store on Ubuntu, Fedora and Mint.
Premium features still follow your Microsoft 365 subscription rather than your computer, so whatever you were paying for keeps working. Nothing needs to be repurchased.
If you would rather not depend on a browser and an account, Kdenlive and Shotcut are free installed editors that do the same jobs offline. They will not open Clipchamp projects, so export anything unfinished as a video file first.
Free installed editor that works with no internet connection and no account. More tracks and more control than Clipchamp.
Your files: Cannot open Clipchamp projects. Imports exported MP4 files and your original clips.
Free and simpler than Kdenlive, closer to Clipchamp in spirit if not in layout.
Your files: No Clipchamp project support. Handles common video and audio formats.
The straightforward answer. Install Chrome on Linux and keep using Clipchamp exactly as before.
Your files: Nothing changes. Your projects stay in your Microsoft account.
