It's AC1300 for anyone wondering.
So I'd assume very few if any Linux drivers as of right now. The drivers that do exist might be unstable with this particular low budget adapter. In the future MAYBE there MIGHT be stable drivers but I'd not hold your breath.
Looks like an OK deal for anyone who just needs a brand new USB wifi adapter. With Windows 10 or 11 these things are always giving me little annoying issues. Usually resolved by simply moving it from one USB port to a different USB port. Had same issues regardless of motherboard CPU and chipset. Seems to be something with how Windows 10/11 handle USB connected network adapters. I only use these on tablets or laptops where it would be a huge pain to open them up to swap out the wifi chipset.

A m2 or pcie WiFi card is generally a better choice, or ethernet of course, but the usb adapters in general work fine for what they are, and they are easy to install and move around.
It is useful to buy one with a standardized chipset, however -- if the drivers have to be downloaded from the Internet and you need the device to give you Internet access, that's a problem -- so the "not recommended for Linux" part gives me pause, as that suggests weird drivers.
Is this the only use case for these? I can't imagine using one rather than just installing a wifi card (or finding some other better option).
Chipset is Realtek, 8812bu works on w11
