I can absolutely confirm it’s still valid for Realtek. I had one using the RTL8812AU chipset

Yeah, and I was explicitly writing about recent chips. RTL8812AU isn't recent. The very latest Windows driver is from 2018, so the chip itself was released a good while before that.

I know exactly what you had to go through because I had to do the same with mine a couple of years ago but since then for newer chips Realtek started contributing to Linux itself:

which left me without the internet I need

USB tethering your WiFi-connected phone would have worked as stop gap just as well. I had to do that a lot.

Ahh I see, thanks for clarifying. It seems that where I live mostly only has the older Realtek chips for sale, so I likely mostly had bad luck.

I tried USB tethering, but it wouldn't work for some reason... I don't remember exactly what happened, but I think either the phone or my computer couldn't detect each other.

USB tethering should look on the PC just like plugging an Ethernet cable.
