i am dual booting with win 11 and linux mint, whenever i restart open boot manager and select the drive thats on it, my USB dongle that has my wifi antenna on it seems to stop working, it happens on the 3 main USBs i use, is there a way to fix/ work around?

it does detect my wifi, and that of, but the USB that i use for my internet stops working once i go into linux mint, only my kbm, and headset work

It’s showing it’s connected and there now, but it won’t turn on the actual connecter, no matter what USB port I try

The first command is mokutil --sb

Okay, it says secureboot is enabled

It will need to be disabled in BIOS, then you need an internet connection to install the driver
sudo apt install git dkms
git clone https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708.git sudo dkms add ./8821au-20210708 sudo dkms install rtl8821au/5.12.5.2

Okay, so I tried that, the bios used by my motherboard is asus, after I go into advanced mode and go into other os in secure boot, it dosent disable it, I’m unsure on how to, I’ve watched a YouTube tutorial and there is an option to disable it, but when I go to said option it’s greyed out and I cannot use anything to click or change it, is there a way to fix that or am I screwed

Do you have a way to get that computer online to install the driver?

I can switch back to windows and download the driver, it’s just the problem of the dongle not working while booted on mint, because the port and adapter work while windows booted, just not mint booted

Because the driver isn't part of the Linux kernel and you likely won't be able to download everything in Windows, can you USB tether to a smartphone?
Should be able to bypass the Secure Boot issue with sudo update-secureboot-policy --enroll-key
