“I’m Linux” video brought to you by Mac/Windows

Good chance that the winner of the “I’m Linux” video contest will create his entry on a Windows or Mac computer. I use Linux a lot, but i bought an iMac for editing HD video. The state of video editing on Linux is really, really sad. I tried a couple of programs, nothing really worked with my AVCHD videos recorded using a Canon HF100.
iMovie isn’t too great either, as far as i know, it can’t actually render HD video, but at least it allows me to easily create video’s. I’d be really happy with some simple video editing program, the simpler the better. The fact that I’m satisfied with iMovie 08 should be proof enough.
In fact, if it weren’t for movie editing, i’d probably not have bought the iMac. I’m happy with my ubuntu laptop, actually use it more than the iMac. If Adobe or better yet Sony would release their video editing software for Linux, i’d probably bought that instead of the iMac.
