It works on Linux
I Bought on Amazon and on my Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon with the Kernel 5.15.0-97-generic it started to work out of the box. I found this dongle it the article on the Medium.com - [Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4 on Linux: overview of supported dongles and chipsets (M.2, PCIe and USB)] after unsuccessful fight with the dongle I had. My Creative SoundBlaster X7 connected seamlessly and works smoothly.

Doesn't work with Windows 10 - Needs drivers!!!
I wish I would have seen these reviews before I bought this paperweight. Looks like for over 1 year the reviews have been telling them this thing does not work correctly with win 10 yet they keep selling it as is. It needs *WORKING* drivers. Win 10 sees the device but it doesn't actually work or connect to anything. If you are not willing to supply drivers you should at least be honest and tell people this upfront instead of wasting our time having to order, wait for it to arrive, spend the time to find out it doesn't work, then have to send it back!
