For linux kernel version > 4.14 jeremyb31's driver will not work so far,
but with the changes from y0urself/rtl8822bu you will be fine!
For linux kernel version > 4.15 (init_timer deprecation) check.

None of the above worked for me, but this one did: https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu

For linux kernel version 2.6.24 ~ 5.8 (Realtek), 5.9 (Nov,2020)

Easy to follow installation: https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu

This made my usb-ac53 show up in network(Kubuntu 20.10), but remember to go to network setting and change it to wpa2. It will keep falling to connect to router, which support wpa3. The adapter itself on the other hand is not wpa3 supported.
