Users of Linux distributions have more choice: an online editor, free Avidemux and the ffmpeg console utility are available , on the basis of which, by the way, Avidemux is built. The mentioned tools work in the same way as described above. But with ffmpeg, you need to act differently: it works through terminal commands.
Open the “Program Manager” from the menu or search.
Search for the ffmpeg package and click on it.
Click Install.
Now place the watermarked video on your desktop and rename it to in.mp4. You don’t have to do this, but then you will have to substitute your file name in the command.
Open a terminal and enter the command cd Desktop .
Copy and paste the following command into the terminal: ffmpeg -i FILE_NAME -vf “delogo = x = AAA: y = BBB: w = CCC: h = DDD” -c: a copy output.mp4 .

Wait while the video is being processed.
