Recommendation for Linux users, proven work!

I have a Dell laptop with a 100MB network card built in! The built-in wireless card is even slower, with a maximum speed of 35Mbps. Fortunately, it has a USB 3.0 port, so I decided to buy a USB 3.0 Gigabit network card. I chose this card because it has drivers for Linux and I often use the Linux operating system. The internet package I pay for includes 200MB download and 35MB download. Internet speed test showed 216 MB. That's 16MB more than I pay! I made a new CAT6 550MHz cable in the LAN. I got 1 Gbps which is fantastic. I tried the card on Windows 7 and on Linux Debian 10. On Windows, you need to install the drivers that are in the network card itself. While Linux autodetects the card on kernel 4.19. See details for Linux: Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0bda:8153 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
