Comment on LibreOffice Online, a self-hostable libre office environment, is coming back!

As someone who is slowly moving off big tech, are there plugins or themes for these office suites that bring then more in line with modern UIs for office suites.
I hate Msoft and Google but the gsuite has a nice clean set up. Microsoft less so but still doesnt feel as unwieldly as open office. I was doing a doc last night and ended up getting the chrome flatpak and signing into docs.
If we’re talking about online editing, Collabora has web editors based on LibreOffice but with a modern UI: www.collaboraonline.com
They are really great and can be self hosted (e.g. with Nextcloud).
For offline editing, as already mentioned LibreOffice has an optional ribbon UI and OnlyOffice looks pretty modern as well.
For a second I read OpenOffice instead of OnlyOffice and was perplexed how one would call that modern lmao

Open Office =/= Libre Office
The latter is a long standing fork of the former and considered the “FLOSS standard office suite”. It has a “modern” ribbon UI, but you have to set it like that, it usually comes with the “old layout” by default.
OnlyOffice is another office suite which brings a ribbon UI by default.
While not open source Softmaker Office mimics Microsoft Office the closest (and claims the best available MS file format compatibility, but I cannot say anything about that).
