Can you start it through the terminal and paste the output?

Your HDD is 13 years old. See here:
https://hdd.userbenchmark.com/Seagate-B ... ating/2022.
It's likely that bad blocks on the HDD are the cause of your problem.
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

You also might try renaming your .config/libreoffice folder to say libre_old and then try to start libreoffice. I have now seen several times there an update to libreoffice borks my config for it and it will not start.

I'm sorry, but I haven't been able to find the ".config/libreoffice' folder! Please tell me how to get there.

/home/eadwine/.config/

It's located in the user directory.

In thunar, go to your home folder and then .config.

/home/your_login/.config

you should see there a libreoffice folder. Rename that folder.
