In LibreOffice, on the menus, you can choose View > User Interface... and choose one of several UI modes, including the classic menu+toolbar and a ribbon-like "tabbed" UI. That's been available for a few years already.
For the upcoming 25.8 release of LibreOffice, we have decided to make the UI mode selection part of a welcome dialog on the first run - as a compromise between the majority opinion, which is that the MSO ribbon is undesirable, and the desire to make the transition easier for MSO users who expect a ribbon-like UI since that's what they're used it. The default choice will remain menus+toolbars.
Also, the LO tabbed UI is not "fully-baked", and still has quite a few issues :
