From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You misunderstand the word "editing" in this case. It's not a matter of adding a few plugins and cutting audio. It's a matter of having the tools to normalize human voice in a way that it's expected in a movie, or to have automation about it, or envelopes that tracks the volume and fixes it for you. That's the stuff that neither audacity nor kdenlive has, because they're very specific to the movie industry. They have more generic plugins instead.
Where can I learn more about how human voice is normalized for movies? I've noticed a big difference in the audio of old movies and some shows, and modern high-budget movies. But I can never pinpoint the difference
That's mostly due to the difference in recording equipment rather than editing.
