    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’ve been using NVIDIA cards on Linux for 20 years… I don’t get this

            Weeelll not for long. Open kernel module works like a charm for me. Wayland support is now actively worked on and is already functional for the most part. HDMI 2.1 was always supported while AMD would not be able to. HDR and 10 bit support also dropped just now.
