This reminds me of the convoluted stuff Jewish people do to avoid "working" on Shabbat. Except in this case instead of work, it's zealous dedication to FLOSS ha
Well preferring FLOSS was part of the motivation but I tried it out in Powerpoint and even there I did not have the ability to play the presentations out like a movie. You had to click on icons scattered on the slides to start each audio commentary track, which was too distracting for me. So even on Windows with a full Microsoft Office I'd have had to do the same thing. Maybe it would work the way I expect it to on some newer Powerpoint versions than I tried it on but I didn't want to bother going down that route. But I'm doubtful it would have been able to tell in which order to play the comments, and even then I'm sure it wouldn't be able to tell me how long each presentation is in total, which I need to know if I want to make a study plan. So the FLOSS way was simply more powerful and convenient for me (the end product at least), and not just better in a purely idealistic sense.
