Can it handle long videos without problems now? 5 minutes long videos was too much earlier. Kdenlive is stable, but has a lot of qt dependencies and sometimes it is broken in Debian testing/sid.

Kdenlive isn't stable in terms of not crashing.

So does Linux have a good stable video editor?

If you are not an open-source zealot, you should give DaVinci Resolve a shot.

Davinci Resolve is looking good
KDEnlive is just as bad as openshot... crashes, corrupted project files, duplicates on recovery ...etc... horrible experience

Works prettt well for me with hours long videos, but then that was always the case (for me).

If you are not an open-source zealot, you should give DaVinci Resolve a shot.

You use the word zealot as if to say that the only reason for sticking with Open Source is an irrational zeal. I think you are mis-informed or you have not considered this topic carefully enough. This is especially likely when I consider that you used the word "Open Source" and not "Free Software". Open Source is so focused on practicalities that Richard Stallman does not even support it (he is a "Free Software advocate).

Here are some of the practicalities of sticking with Open Source software:
- the ability to fix your own bugs or have others fix them for you
- the ability to inspect the code for privacy or security compromising issues or back doors.
- the ability for the community who use the software to improve it and get a say in its direction (supporting the fork they see as the most aligned with their preferences)
- the ability to continue using the software even if you come into some financial hardship
- the ability to port the software on your OS / hardware
- if a common Open Source license has been selected, you can also insulate yourself from legal trouble without having to hire an expensive lawyer.

All of the above applies just as well to a video editor as it does most other software on a system.
