Question: Is buying a Laptop with a Nvidia graphic card is bad idea for Linux(XFCE user)?
Yes, IMO. If you haven't bought the hardware yet, there's no reason to subject yourself to the headache of lacking Linux support, instead support companies that value open source.
AMD and Intel GPU's simply work out of the box with all features.
And it's not like on a laptop you need the highest of high end graphics acceleration anyway.
I use the integrated graphics of my Ryzen 9 7940HS and they're more than enough for all workloads. Light weight gaming also works pretty well on it.
