To be fair, they’ve had the option to switch to that unusable ribbon trying Microsoft switched to fit a while now.
Thankfully, it’s not the default.
Comment on The Document Foundation is proud to release LibreOffice 25.8.

Does it still look like it’s from 1998?
It works very well for my light personal needs, but I find the UI to be an eyesore…

The ribbon UI sure is shit.
LO has a command palette which is handy when looking for obscure functions. Shift esc.

I like the 1998 version.

If it was good enough for my parents, it’s good enough for me!

The notes include “improved user interface”, so I’m sure whatever issues you have had for years are fixed by that 😅

It has a proper dark mode now. Also there’s different icon themes, I like the Breezy theme. Makes it look early 2010s

Would you prefer something Microsoft has cooked up recently?

Ah yes, the only 2 design options. 1998 or Microsoft.

Looks like 98 SE now!

Office apps looked like that in 1998 because it was an interface that worked. It never should have changed.

There’s an optional “tabbed interface” in View > User Interface that’s a lot like the Microsoft ribbon. I’ve not had a need for LibreOffice for a while, but it certainly looks a lot less cluttered than the default old-school toolbars.

That looks great
