A: According to AI. Yes, the D-Link AC1300 USB WiFi Adapter (DWA-181) is generally compatible with Linux, but it often requires manual driver installation, as it may not work "plug-and-play" out-of-the-box on newer kernel versions, with users needing to compile drivers from sources like GitHub for specific chipset drivers (often Realtek), according to this LinuxQuestions forum post, this Ask Ubuntu thread, and this Fedora discussion. While D-Link lists Linux as a supported OS, expect to use command-line tools and potentially third-party repositories to get the correct Realtek rtl88x2bu driver working, notes this Linux Mint forum thread and a D-Link product page.
