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?
Have you tried cryptpad? I use cryptpad.fr’s unpaid option and I gain one GB data. Here I can choose between markdown presentation or onlyoffice presentation. The markdown presentation is neat for quickly creating presentations. I can however not comment on onlyoffice presentation because I have not used it.
Marp works well if you like Markdown. I cannot, however, speak to things such as transitions (though marp exports to a nice HTML file which includes a PowerPoint-like interface, so I’d imagine it’s possible).
That looks really interesting!
https://www.onlyoffice.com/ may be an option. They have hosted plans but you can just use the office suite with local files for free if you don’t need a yof the hosted offerings features

OnlyOffice desktop version. It is a tad confusing that they put the self hosted server on their front page.
What about Caligra Stage (KDE)? Presentations, Slideshows
I once made an animated presentation using Inkscape and an add-on I can’t remember the name of. It was epic and blown everyone’s mind. But it was not worth the effort and I have never attempted this again.
LaTeX with Beamer for slides, and show the resulting PDF on any computer you want
Lately I’ve been using Sent.
Which elements do you want in it that you can not find ? Only simple transitions like this or I am sure you have specific issue… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WzigWN_c2g
