Rode podmic connected to mic port in omen hp laptop, not connecting to anything

[quick terrace]

I bought this microphone awhile back and was disappointed when it did not work with Linux mint. I'm not positive that the wires are still healthy, but I'd like to know the steps to make linux able to read my mic port, as it has never been able to seemingly.

is it a 3.5 mm TRS plug on the mic?

some motherboards's soundcards just aren't compatible with the analog line-in/mic jack on Linux. If that's the case, use USB ADC as shown
