The LibreOffice UI system is agnostic about the platform, see
https://docs.libreoffice.org/vcl.html
There is already a Qt5 backend, upon which is built a KDE Frameworks backend.
Thanks to the work of Caolán, the Qt5/KDE UI can be made fully native as well
(the menus are already native, among some other elements).

The KDE backend is available since version 6.2, but was significantly improved
with the 6.3 release.

Remaining known issues for KDE can be examined here:

You might try the latest and greatest using an appimage:

In a terminal, I did:
chmod +x LibreOfficeDev-6.4.0.0.alpha1_2019-11-01-x86_64.AppImage
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kf5
./LibreOfficeDev-6.4.0.0.alpha1_2019-11-01-x86_64.AppImage

It does require having Qt and plasma-framework libraries installed.

In 6.4 (unreleased), the name of the backend was changed to kf5. In 6.3, it is
still called kde. So with 6.3, you would launch with SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kde
