Out of the box? If not, how to install the driver?
Hardware is supported or not supported by the linux kernel that a distribution uses. Some distributions like ubuntu are really rarley updating the linux kernel. In fedora the linux kernel is updated verry regularly, thus more hardware is supported.
You can try a bootable usbstick to check if all of your hardware is supported to your liking.
Further information to your chipset can you find in the gentoo wiki.
It has to be manually installed, below is the information for the driver I used.

I had to manually install dkms, git and kernel-devel. (I’m on F30 XFCE)

Would you have the time to write a “howto” post on this please?
PS: edited your post to properly format the commands. Please use the formatting tools, especially with commands that users are meant to copy-paste. If they’re not marked as code blocks, they’ll be unicode and that’ll cause issues when pasted in terminals.
Try this one:
rpmbuild --rebuild https://github.com/rpmsphere/todo/raw/master/src-kmod/rtl8812au-5.3.4-1.src.rpm
rpm -Uvh $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/$HOSTTYPE/rtl8812au-kmod-5.3.4-1.$HOSTTYPE.rpm
Hi guys,
Although as mentioned i installed dkms, git and kernel-devel on fedora 30
i am getting the following error, any ideas please?
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.0.9-301.fc30.x86_64 (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/rtl8812au/5.3.4/build/make.log for more information.
Finished running dkms install steps.
please update with the new version, but first remove previous version:
sudo ./dkms-remove.sh
and installing again…
if any error occurs please consult the following log:
/var/lib/dkms/rtl8812au/x.x.x/build/make.log
where x.x.x is = 5.3.4
or 5.6.4.2
Regards.,
I had the installation issue of awus036ach with chipset rtl8812au on Fedora 32, kernel 5.7.17. Finally installation done, first on VMware then on laptop directly.
Steps:
sudo dnf update && sudo dnf upgrade
sudo dnf install dkms git kernel-devel bc make ##this is just in case if something not yet installed
mkdir ~/drivers
cd ~/drivers
sudo git clone GitHub - aircrack-ng/rtl8812au: RTL8812AU/21AU and RTL8814AU driver with monitor mode and frame injection
cd rtl*
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
to remove
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
