    I’ve been trying to get off PP for presentations, but everything else I’ve used has it’s issues

    • LaTeX Beamer: My alternative go-to; but it requires Tex to be installed to make changes; so it’s locked to your computer. Plus most people don’t know how to write LaTeX (let alone program), so just for solo presentations
    • LibreOffice Impress: A close alternative, but I find theming breaks a lot between systems (background / font colors primarily IIRC)
    • Web-based presentation software: requires you to be online, and you generally can’t download the presentations for offline use / archiving

    Any recommendations?

      I showcase PDFs, there’s less compatibility issues and more ways to open it. Animations are out of fashion anyways.

        As a viewer, I find animated presentations to be gimmicky. Often feels infomercial-ish, or like a fast food version of professionalism.
