Does Google Slides run on Linux?
Verdict: Yes
Yes. Google Slides runs in a browser, so nothing changes on Linux. Google supports Chrome, Firefox and Edge, and all three have Linux versions.
Slides is a website rather than an installed program, so the switch costs you nothing. Open your browser on Linux, sign in to the same Google account, and every deck is where you left it.
The supported browser list covers Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari. Firefox ships with most Linux systems, and Chrome and Edge both offer Linux downloads. Offline access only works in Chrome, which matters if you present somewhere without reliable wifi.
Presenting works the same way it does anywhere else, including speaker notes on a second screen. Before a talk that matters, plug in the projector or television and check the screen arrangement once, because Linux handles second screens through its own display settings rather than the Windows keyboard shortcut you are used to.
If you want a copy that does not need a connection, download the deck as .pptx or PDF. LibreOffice Impress opens both.
