USB Wifi Recommendations
The adapter you got should work fine, with the proper driver. I went to their driver download page, and got this archive for Linux Kernels: 4.19 - 5.11. Inside the archive, found the README.md file pointing to a github repository that contains newer versions of the driver https://github.com/morrownr/8821cu-20210916. You should give it a try.

No network devices available [Notebook Gateway GWNR71517]
if you want to make sure this is the correct driver for your adapter before going through the rest of the process, you can run the command lsusb. the id's will look something like 0BDA:B82B. the list of supported device id's is on this page: https://github.com/morrownr/8821cu-20210916/blob/main/supported-device-IDs
