Slides, without the ribbon.

Frame is a lightweight, native presentation app for Linux. It opens PowerPoint decks, lets you edit them on the slide or as an outline, shows them full screen, and saves them back without touching what you didn't change.

Install

For your user, no sudo: the app, its menu entry, and .pptx files opening with it. Start it from your app menu or with frame. Run the command again to update.

curl -fsSL https://this-site/install.sh | sh

It needs GTK 4, which GNOME desktops have; otherwise the installer says how to get it. Or download the tarball above and check it against the published sha256. To remove it:

curl -fsSL https://this-site/install.sh | sh -s -- --uninstall
