I broke my old laptop, and decided to full send Linux Mint on the new one without ever using Linux before. I'm trying to help some people study math. I want to put together like 10 questions, and below them have the answers as well as the shown work to get to the answer. I'd like to be able to blur/black the answer section out until clicked or something.

I can always put the answers on a separate page or something, but thought I might as well see if Linux has something to offer

I could also code something into a webpage, but I was just looking for convenience

Thank you!

Sounds like a job for whatever is the equivalent of Google Sheets or PowerPoint in LibreOffice. I think it’s called Impress.

You can just put the answer on the next page. Or cheat and make it seem like the answer is below the question and blurred out but it’s actually just the unblurred version on the next slide.

Ayy great minds think alike. I actually just went the Impress way. Way easier than anything else. Appreciate you

Maybe an office suite like libreoffice?

I was thinking of trying that direction. To be honest, just got the laptop today and have to have the "study group" tomorrow so I'm asking before exploring since I'm not at home with the laptop at the moment.

Appreciate the idea!

You can try Logseq.

Theoretically, it's a nonlinear outliner notebook for knowledge management (similar to Obsidian), so writing down stuff and connecting that is its main use.

BUT, it has the cards/ cloze function, which is exactly what you're looking for!

You can read further here if you want.

I really love this FOSS piece of software, it gets better each month. I use it as my daily journal, and I think using it in school would catapult your IQ to Einstein level in less than a month 😂

Ay this is actually really cool. I'm a little clunky with it, but I can see how it's amazing once I get used to it

I believe you can do that with Xournal. It's a pdf editor I use and supports pasting of images onto de document.
