I use it on my Ubuntu machine and it works flawlessly. It's light on the CPU and almost never lags, it takes less than a second to fire up and it's ready to work.2. Openboard's interface is not bombarded with features and that keeps the UI/UX clean and minimal.3. The Podcast option is straightforward. It comes with almost all the options required to share the screen and lets you share everything in a few clicks. 4. The library is diverse and has the vast majority of features (eg. adding audio, video, and shapes) needed to take notes (even the technical ones). 5. One of my favorite features in Openboard is how easy it is to add images from the web without leaving the application. Takes a couple of clicks and it's done\! > > **Cons**: The unavailability of shortcuts. I use Openboard for taking notes through my touchpad, and it'd be nice if the application also had keys assigned to various tools through which a user could switch between them. For example - if I have selected a pen, I could choose an eraser with the key "a" and then switch back to using the pen with the key "s" or anything else. The same goes for other tools as well. This will make using Openboard even easier and highly efficient. It's such an important feature that the software lacks. > > I've been using Openboard for a long time, and it's one of my favorite productivity software when it comes to taking notes and sharing/storing them either in PDF/video format. It's fast and has all the features I need when I'm learning something and need a place to brainstorm. ----- ### "Full featured whiteboard" — 5.0/5 > **Christian** | *26 March 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: You can write on a standard whiteboard or scribble on top of your desktop, to overlay on your documents and software.
