Black Magic Design's Davinci Resolve is proper.  There is a free version
that will edit up to 4K media (iirc, there's some limit), including
for MacOS and Linux.

One time in the menus, I found a feature where you could change the
interface to emulate other popular video editors.  I don't remember
if it included FCP, but if it's still a feature, I'd be surprised
if it wasn't an option.

Personally, I used kdenlive -- but my editing needs are minimal.
