I agree with the rest but I think the ribbon concept itself is nice and they actually updated the UI for Windows 11

I like Ribbon too but the Home tab keeps getting used to give spotlight to rather unimportant new features. Also, the Windows 11 redesign is horrible, the buttons are spaced out too far. At home, I use my old legal copy of Office 2007 via Wine of I need to correctly open Office files while getting used to the messy icons and dropdowns of LibreOffice.

LibreOffice also has a ribbon. Just go to View → User Interface and select "Tabbed Bar" or something like that. I like contextual groups (which needs experimental features enabled, unfortunately) better since it's like the MS office "group descriptions" but it isn't fully suited for Impress yet so groupedbar (non-compact version also experimental) is a nice middle ground.
