Troubleshooting freezes involves ruling out individual hardware components.

For start boot up live Debian live ISO and let us know if freeze happens in live mode.
This will rule out your SSD.

Note: Don't install to disk, just use the live version from USB for some time and see if it works.

Since you tried other distros, I'd suspect it's not the OS. Did it freeze with the OEM installed Win 11 or did you like me wipe Windows from the machine without powering them up and install Linux?

Air flow / cooling (example dust cat hair in vents) as well as other hardware like the SSD or memory can cause freezing issues. If trying a live distro is unsuccessful you could try raising the laptop on small wood blocks and forcing air into and around the laptop to eliminate cooling as the problem. If you can get a spare SSD that may help isolate it also.

when I deal with unexpected slow downs or freezes it almost always points to a hardware issue. 90% of the time it is the hard drive. Before you go crazy doing all kinds of things, run a S.M.A.R.T. on the hard drive. not a chkdsk or anything like it. look at the drive and see if it has seek errors or read errors. any errors. If it is an ssd you should still be able to run smart on it and see something. If it is an off brand ssd that could be the issue. If you have an nvme then load nvme tools and use them to see how the drive is performing and working.
The drive is the most common culprit for what you describe. Save yourself some time and energy and check the drive properly. Do not rely on it worked or formatted.
If you do see the drive in one of the tools I mentioned, any reading on errors other than zero means you have an issue.
