I moved away from MS Windows a long while back and have ported everything EXCEPT presentations. I still use a friend’s laptop just for PowerPoint.
I have used LibreOffice Impress and it is quite poor in design and the templates are very unprofessional.
I have used LaTeX beamer a lot and I am now tired of fighting it to make simple transitions look good, quickly customise a slide, etc.
Are there alternatives that I can use which are libre friendly as well as user-friendly?
Which elements do you want in it that you can not find ? Only simple transitions like this or I am sure you have specific issue… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WzigWN_c2g
