Our community desktops use LibreOffice [fr_CA], on Linux Mint Cinnamon with the following options:
Always store your important documents in the native, international standard ODF file type. It is not a good idea to store the documents in a foreign file format. (for example the MS Word can not handle the Page Styles - that is an important and effective property of the LO Writer.
Do you know the location of the user profile? That’s a directory named user containing some subdirectories and lots(?) of files. For versions >=4.0 you should find it as ...\4\user (standard installation). I don’t know Linux specifics.
If you copy the complete \4\user range of the “master” user, and paste it to the respective location of each “slave” user, this should do.
Never overwrite a user profile without having created a backup. You can create such a backup, e.g. by simply renaming the found “slave” user folder from \user to \user.bak. If one of the afflicted users has personal basic code or templates or … they can copy the respective folder from the backup profile to the new one, overwriting what they got from the “master”.
Don’t disregard the hint by @Zizi64.

An alternative to colleagues’ answers is to have macros for such goals.
Sub SetColibreSVG()
Dim oNode as Object
GlobalScope.Basiclibraries.LoadLibrary("Tools")
oNode = GetRegistryKeyContent("org.openoffice.Office.Common/Misc", True)
oNode.SymbolStyle = "colibre_svg"
oNode.commitChanges()
End Sub
Your warning cannot apply in the context. I am serving a community of retirees from the commercial world ruled by MS Office. They use the Writer, or Calc for very simple personal tasks, which end up as .pdf, to be emailed as attachments. Also, there is no storing. These are Public computers. One user account to all.
