Had a non-technical friend who I've helped stay on #ubuntu for around a year for his academic work complain that PowerPoint slides from his professor didn't render well in either #libreoffice #wpsoffice, #freeoffice .

I found that pretty surprising - I'd have expected slideshows to be the easier format, as document and spreadsheet compatibility seems to be much better now in 2023 than two decades ago!

Sidenote: what are your recommendations for screen+audio/video recording software on Linux? I'm pretty sure auto-captioning is going to be hard to find (apparently he has that in the software they took on windows).

@thegreybeardofthetree OBS I think but I am not an expert

@Yosh thanks. I think #obsstudio is a great recommendation to try.

@Yosh I'm a bit worried about the initial complexity though.. from what I remember, it was super powerful, but bit took me a while to get around.

Any beginner friendly recommendations?

@thegreybeardofthetree true, but it's very popular and have a lot of guides, you should find some good advice. I can't recommend nothing else because I don't know other programs

@Yosh thank you for the recommendation, I'll share any updates, but obs definitely on my list now
