In PowerPoint, you can just select everything, then right-click -> save as image, and it saves whatever you have selected rather than the whole slide. There doesn’t seem to be a way to do that in Impress, but I realised you could copy-paste into Gimp and that would copy the objects as an image, so I’ve been making memes that way.

    This is why I always have a ubuntu LTS installer on a USB drive for when everything which brings me joy inevitably crumbles around me.

      If I’m giving a laptop to someone, then I want them to be able to set their own username and password; while being able to set the correct drivers and stuff up myself.

        Interesting, never did that. Why not just install normally and edit afterwards, isnt there a tool to edit name and homefolder simultaneously?

        I always name my user “user”, saves so much hassle everywhere, bug logs, lockscreen etc. Password can easily be changed

          Why would I want someone who isn’t tech savvy to have to use a tool to edit name and password?

          If we want people to switch to Linux, one thing we’ll need is easy to use OEMs.

      The issue is that the slide size isn’t going to match with the meme size and there’s no way to predict it. … unless there’s a workaround that I’m not aware of. I’d need it to ignore the slide size and only include the images. The only way I found I could do that in libre office is to highlight and copy/paste.

      In PowerPoint, you just highlight all images->right click->save as picture and that works just fine.

      I guess I’ll just have to work the courage to make feature requests, or better yet, understand open source code to make improvements.

      Yes. Mint is the distro I run on my personal laptop.
