I think that I have met my match

Well, this afternoon I was working on a Libre Office spreadsheet, and when I clicked on the save icon to save my file, nothing happened. I tried to close the spreadsheet program, but it didn't want to respond. To make a long story short, I did a reinstall, and then restored everything from an earlier backup using rsync, but now I'm looking at a black screen instead of my usual login screen.

Well, I guess that I'm going to have to retreat back to using Linux, because I just don't have the skill set to keep this thing going, and so now I'm wondering if Linuz will be able to read the files I have stored on a UFS partition I have on a second physical hard drive?
 
Sorry to hear that you leaving and Thanks for giving FreeBSD a chance.

Usually rsync a home folder will not cause any black screen as FreeBSD has a very organized file structures unless something is corrupted on the system files.

I am just curious what error you see when execute Libre Office in terminal that cause you not able to save so that the community can improve FreeBSD.
 
A black screen like crash-hang? Libreoffice doing a save action doesn't cause that. It has nothing to do with it.
Personally, no way I'd leave this without even getting a hint of what's going on. It's against fundamental tech geek principles.
