Probably just a matter of time, it’s possible the friction will create opportunities. Something in the spirit of iaPresenter, md first would be awesome.
At the moment i have long html page with key event for next and previous, tiny script to check on specif markup for autoscroll.
Libre Office Impress does all the things that PowerPoint is used for at my workplace.
I'm guessing it's not compatible with Teams and that MS make sure it doesn't work properly with LO produced PPT files.
Huh? There's a ton of PowerPoint alternatives that work on Linux. LibreOffice, OnlyOffice, Collabora Office, Calligra Stage, Google Slides, the online version of PowerPoint, more techy things like LaTeX Beamer or Reveal.js. Maybe these don't have perfect PowerPoint compatibility, or some niche PowerPoint feature you need but there's plenty of slide deck making options that work on Linux.
If there’s no alternative to PowerPoint, that should be treated as a plus, not as a problem.
There are decent alternatives on all operating systems, including Linux.
I haven’t seen power point used professionally for over a decade. All google (though I’ve made the odd prezi)
