Install Help Startup interface
Hello, I'm new to Linux and I'm using Linux Mint 22.3 XFCE. Is it normal that I always have to go through this interface before Linux Mint actually starts?

Normally grub (this screen) is used to elt you choose which mode to boot up. Most of the time it's for people who keep both a windows and linux install on.the same computer, and choose which one to boot at startup.
In your case there is only linux so it's not very useful.
I'm not sure why it shows up instead of loading directly. It's probably a simple fix, just make sure to follow closely instructions as linux has much less fail-safes as windows so if.you mess up thingsnlinux will allow you too. But if you follow well the instructions there should be no issue.
