The list of features supported by \beamer\ is quite long (unfortunately, so is presumably the list of bugs supported by \beamer). The most important features, in our opinion, are:
\begin{itemize}
\item
You can use \beamer\ with |pdflatex|, |latex|+|dvips|, |lualatex| and |xelatex|. |latex|+|dvipdfm| isn't supported (but we accept patches!).
You can use \beamer\ with |pdflatex|, |latex|+|dvips| and |lualatex|. \beamer\ documents can also be compiled with |xelatex|, however the results might show some elements incorrectly and there are other limitations of the engine, which are described in more detail in e.g.\ \url{https://www.texdev.net/2024/11/05/engine-news-from-the-latex-project}.
|latex|+|dvipdfm| isn't supported (but we accept patches!).
\item
The standard commands of \LaTeX\ still work. A |\tableofcontents| will still create a table of contents, |\section| is still used to create structure, and |itemize| still creates a list.
