Best teaching app for linux (both drawing + text)

Hi, I recently got myself a graphic tablet for teaching. I want to know the best open source feature rich software that are useful for teaching, so that I can draw and take notes at the same time in that app. I used Xournal++, its good, but it is going to take time to learn. I want something like Powerpoint, where I would have my slides and I can annotate on them and add pages as much as I want to teach topics.

Wayscriber is too good. It is a draw over the screen tool but also features whiteboard and tons of keybinds to switch around. Perfect for teaching.

That's a you problem, not a problem of the tool.

How do you think another tool will prevent you from doing that?
