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?
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.
