Let's hope that «multi-monitor support» will help this bug [1] go away! I have found that most of the Windows apps I used to rely on have good counterparts working on Linux, but sadly nothing matches Powerpoint (no, LibreOffice does not count). [1] https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7416

beamer slides?

What exactly makes PowerPoint so good? I’ve never really used either, I’ve mostly relied on pamdoc’s Beamer generator and google slides.

Its easy to generate complex vector graphics as well as presentations. Orders of magnitude increase in productivity compared with Latex or Beamer. This might not be felt in the coding community, as their diagrams are standardized and hence simple .

LibreOffice is able to create presentations in PDF format, and that's all anyone needs from presentations.

I love Google Slides, it allows me to get make slides without aditional complications, I do prefer simpler slides, and to be honest I kind of dislike it when people have animations that take literal seconds! The way I see it, slides are an aid, they're there just to help me stay on track and to guide me. That does NOT mean that you should read of of it... Sorry, it's just so many people get presenting SO wrong... It angered me so much that when I was in University I decided to make a presentation about making presentations, in hopes that maybe the students would learn a thing or two and make start making better presentation.

tl;dr; Google Slides is web-based, thus it works everywhere

I have used it to create icons, posters, product screenshots and what not. It's really versatile.
