Open Office was a cesspool of disease, even before covid it was problematic:

Studies have found that that those who work in open offices are more likely to take short term sick leave or a sick day. Those employees might be using 62% more of their sick days due to the environment. Employees with this office layout are also more prone to headaches and respiratory problems due to weakened immune systems.

OOO 3.* was wonderful and I loved its icons. I was a kid and a Windows user.

Hated to use MS Word where they had that.
