Most amazing of all is the lack of packages containing additional templates for most distros.įor example, the libreoffice-templates package (description: 'Additional set of templates for LibreOffice') that is available in Ubuntu, only contains the 8 default templates that come with LibreOffice itself. Further searching will turn up various odds-and-ends that have cropped up over the years - a download here, a website there - as well as more unlicensed or non-free templates and even suggestions to just use.ppt files from MS Office.
There are surprisingly few usable templates there - many are abandoned, not actually available for download, lacking any license information, and so on - but those that can be downloaded and used are often not what one might expect to see in a modern presentation.
Online have asked about where to find more and better templates, and they are usually directed to the LibreOffice Templates website. LibreOffice comes pre-installed with a handful of barebones templates that are not terribly useful.
