Noticed that among the many tips of the day, LibO also suggests to use Android or IPhone to remotely control an Impress presentation. The "more info" page then excplicitly declares that the feature is cross platform "GNU/Linux, Windows or macOS." either via Bluetooth or Wifi.

However to use the feature with bluetooth on linux has been impossible for the last 5 years, because the feature is broken on this platform (this bug provides a diagnosis of the underlying issue). Using the feature with wifi is equally problematic, because those places where you need to deliver a presentation are typically those very places where you do not control the wifi network that may make it impossible for the computer and the phone to communicate.

As a consequence, this tip of the day looks inappropriate on linux, making many users waste a significant amount of time trying to use a feature that simply cannot work. May I suggest removing this tip of the day on linux?
