Vista support could be as backward compatible,

Fair point.

and the RTL8812BU Software is for 32bit/64bit Windows7, Windows8.1, Windows10 from 2017 and as it works well with the latter OS than it should be supported by Linux in the interest of relevancy.

"In the interest of relevancy" is pretty subjective and your opinion.

Likewise this USB Wireless Adapter 600Mbps Realtek RTL8811CU lists lists Linux as supporting it, so I do not know why none of the distros I have tried even show mine as detected.

Probably because not everything is "plug and play" in Linux. Saying a Realtek RTL8811CU based adapter is supported in Linux may also mean the end consumer will need to download the code for it, run some simple commands to compile it and then make it available to the OS.

Based on the Realtek RTL8811CU adapter you have, I located those instructions for you. They seem fairly simple to me with the commands needed to run included along with the output expected.

Here you go, give this a try.

Good luck!

Thanks but I have seen such and which require a Internet connection to begin with. There should be detection of the adapters and a file that I can put on a USB and direct the OS to in order to configure it. The link to the driver seems to require compiling it. My favorite "fun" distro seems to offer the best hope if i can figure it out and find the actual file.

Thanks for your heart to help.
