There are many of these cheap mini dongles that don't work in Linux, It all depends on which chip-set they use, so
put dongle in spare usb port,
open terminal and enter inxi -Nnz and copy/paste back the results,
depending on your distribution, you may have to install inxi
if not installed try
sudo apt update
sudo apt install inxi

After further thought, and a bit of surfing, I found it probably has the realteck 8192EU chipset, so you could try this..
