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).

@Kimimaru

Thanks for the recommendation. #obsstudio definitely on my list.

I haven't had a chance to try out the live caption flatpak that was referred earlier in this thread, want to try it this weekend
