Actually, the more information you give the more likely you are to get
useful advice. 
Ubuntu is Debian with some wraparound. So if Ubuntu does not work, then
you may also have trouble with Debian. 

All Linux can be "totally customised from the start" if you want. 

What are "native modes"? Freezing at the login would seem to have
nothing to do with the graphics, but it might depending on exactly where
and when it froze. Again the more information you give the more likely
you are to get useful help.
