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?

I have used reveal.js and presenterm for simple work presentations and I enjoyed working with both. You’ll get a lot more flexibility and features from reveal, but presenterm is neat for certain kinds of presentations too.
