I was about to say: "Why not just use LibreOffice Impress?" - but the truth is that it's still far away from qualifying as a Powerpoint replacement. LO Writer has really gotten its act together over the years, and now handles Word documents very well and is a worthy replacement - Impress not as much.
So, I urge you to spend a little time trying to open your PPT presentations in Impress, and if/when you see issues with it - complain about them! As an active LO user (https://events.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice-conference...) I feel the user base is not putting enough pressure on developers to put focus on Impress polish.
Also, donations help: https://www.libreoffice.org/donate/
... then maybe in a couple of years you could ditch PowerPoint and make your 99.9% into 100%.
I use PP at work and talks that I give occasionally (2-3 per year).
For other things, I just use Google Docs and Sheets. They are enough for my usecases.
As a challenge, last year, when I taught a class (as a volunteer)- I made all my slides with Impress. While it wasn’t painful, PP is miles better and smoother.
While there are many FOSS softwares where I regularly report issues, and donated, and even contributed to some, presentations is not that important to me to spend a lot of time at.
Oh, Impress is basically the same as PowerPoint, the differences are not significant. Here's a 11-minute video exemplifying the experience of creating a simple presentation from scratch:

... frankly, I wouldn't even watch it, just pretend PowerPoint came out with a new version where they tweaked the UI a bit.
You missed this bit?
I did use Impress to make slides for 7 classes (>100 slides).
I will go with PP for now.
And, yes, using computers since 6, having one for myself since 10- I need not really explicitly learn UIs of programs intended for non-tech mass users.
Using Linux ~99.9% of times at both work and personal use for the last five years. 0.1% is Windows, because PowerPoint.
Using Pop OS (NVIDIA) for the last 2.5 years, and Linux Mint before that.
I have near zero issues, and spent contiguous months and years without any Linux Evenings [0]. Had 3-4 Linux Evenings in these 5 years.
