Where Can I Find A List of Non-Mobo chipset wifi adapters in the linux kernel?
Basically, a board I bought is bring your own chipset and I am pissed. TP-link ac 1300’s are cheap and good but do I still need to manually install drivers for them? I don’t like the unreliability of the matter is all and get paranoid.

Try using the part finder here. Look for the hardware, then check if it reports the hardware as working or not.

Look for motherboards with Intel WLAN. Intel networking hardware works really well under Linux.

The simple (and brutal) answer is, that you don't install any drivers on linux.
If you have a Wifi dongle and it doesn't work, send it back and buy the one that works.
As it is technically possible to find some sources and build/compile kernel module, this option is more for developers, than end users.
There are plenty of Wifi dongles supported in linux. Save your time and don't struggle with one that is not.
I had an older/different version... T2U (rtl 8811). Yours is a T3U (rtl 8822). I got it working OK. Which distro are you using? It wasn't difficult.

There's a moderator on openSUSE forums called Sauerland that is helpful. Maybe they have written something that can help you. Also, checkout aircrack-ng on github.
