In LibreOffice 6.0, Impress default template changed to 16:9 from previously 4:3 page size. We can change this back to 4:3, and even switch to another template as the default. The result we get is: Impress will always create new presentation based on template we chose. Surprisingly, it's pretty easy:
Another Template as Default
1) Create new presentation
2) Go to menu File > Templates > Manage Templates
3) Select a template > for example select "Vintage" > right-click > Set As Default > Open.
4) Close all opened LibreOffice windows.
5) Open Impress again.
6) Done, every new presentation now using your selected template.

Back to 4:3 Size as Default
This is intended for LibreOffice 6.0 only:
1) Create new presentation
2) You see the default blank template is 16:9 wide size, with 54px title, 42px main text; while prior to 6.0 version it is 4:3 wide size with 44px title, 36px main text.
3) Go to Properties panel (right) > Slide > Format > select "Screen 4:3".
4) Change the title size to 44px, and main text size to 36px.
5) Go to menu File > Templates > Save As Template > give it name "Default" > select category "My Templates" > give check mark to Set as default template > OK.
6) Close all opened LibreOffice windows.
7) Open Impress again.
8) Done, now it's back to the previous template from LibreOffice 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0.
