Unfortunately, I don’t think either is particularly great. LibreOffice looks horrendous, performs at or below average, and does not have fabulous compatibility with Microsoft Office formats. On the other hand, ONLYOFFICE has better compatibility but feels cheap and pushes web services.
If this is for personal use, I would go with LibreOffice. If you need to share documents with others using a common format, go with ONLYOFFICE.
I’m not sure if this is accurate OpenOffice appears to be abandonware with development stopped in 2011 while LibreOffice is the fork and still being developed.
LibreOffice literally looks exactly like MS Office in my computer, what are you talking about? It does take a little bit of configuration, but nothing you can’t find with a quick search
They are probably using the default installed theme, which doesn’t have scalable icons so everything is horribly pixelated. Not sure why it’s still the default, but as you said it’s pretty easy to change.
Yeah, I will admit that it looks much better on Linux than macOS. My other qualm is that it eats up my laptop battery, while Pages and Word use considerably less power

edit…ah Oracle OpenOffice vs Apache OpenOffice
OpenOffice and OnlyOffice are two different things. We were talking about the latter.
OpenOffice is not a thing anymore, stop keeping it in your brains XD

Could you share how you did that?
I’m recommending Libreoffice to others n the UI difference seems to be the main thing that they notice.
I think I used this guide
Thank you
Dont agree on looks etc, but yes Onlyoffice feels like that and I would prefer Libreoffice+Web integration too.
