It seems the adapter has Realtek RTL8188EU chipset. Free driver for the chipset does exist, but unfortunately it also requires nonfree firmware (see rtl8xxxu):

so it wouldn't work with free distros :(

What will give you Wi-Fi for sure is a Wi-Fi dongle with an AR9271 chipset. You can go for https://ryf.fsf.org/categories/wireless-adapters or search "AR9271" on a site such as ebay (that would be cheaper, but you would not support vendors dedicated to respecting your freedom). I bought a few such dongles some twelve years ago and I am still using them.
