So I had Mint installed on an old laptop, I decided to install Debian 13, this laptop has had Debian on it a few years ago, so I installed XFCE from the net install iso, rebooted into XFCE after the install, I rebooted again (without making any changes) and it froze on boot, I had to do a hard power off, so I rebooted again, same problem, then I went into grub and booted from 6..73 kernel, and it booted into XFCE just fine, so I rebooted again using the 6..73 kernel, and this time it froze again, tried it again, same problem, I've never experienced this behavior before, I guess I'll have to try another distro

Edit: I don't know what the problem was, but it I installed opensuse leap and the problem is gone
