That's LaTeX with the Beamer package, plus Inkscape for the graphics.
It's all in Guix.

A bit of history: for many years I used Apple's Keynote software for my
presentations. Until I discovered one day that I couldn't open my old
presentations any more. Apple had changed the format a few times, and
then quietly dropped support for the older formats. And the older
software versions that could read the old presentations were no longer
available.

So now it's LibreOffice for short quick-and-dirty slide hacking, and
LaTeX with Beamer for everything else.

Cheers,
  Konrad.
