My personal experience is that LO and OO have the unfortunate destiny of being capable to trigger almost every single X11 bug, particularly with the opensource intel driver.
I have 2 machines with different graphic cards and the same setup and distro and the difference in behavior is striking, with artifacts appearing on one of them from the very splash screen. And then, messed fonts in presentations, presentation animations with graphical elements appearing and disappering erratically, etc.
All this obviously does not contribute to giving LO and OO a positive fame, even if they might not be their fault.

If you're not actually editing files and just need to view them, I'd recommend checking out unoconv[1] which uses OO.o/LO to convert from the command line. If you actually use OO.o/LO in a server/client model, it can also use a remote server instead of installing the packages and all the dependencies on your machines.
