Not quite your model listed but things close: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop/ASUS https://jonastechknowhow.com/does-asus-vivobook-support-linux/ How to you propose to buy it ? If from a shop why not make a Debian Live memory stick and boot the machine from that - you do NOT need to install but from the live environment can check out the important things that may cause trouble: screen and Wifi -- you will need to get permission from the shop and convince them that it will not harm the machine!
