It is for a Librem 15. PureOS and Qubes 4.2.
I am concerned about chipsets more than about brand for the adapter.
I would like to find one with a well-known Realtek chipset, supported by standard kernel drivers, no blobs, no install, no fuss.

Thank you for your suggestions.
Actually, those two were my first choices (because they are RYF and I care about this certification); but that was until I found out that they would only ship from the U.S.A. and at an outrageous shipping fee.
So I need to buy one locally now.

How does the device as a whole function? Where does the firmware run inside the device? Who has access to create or modify the firmware? Where is the chipset actually FABbed? Can the firmware be modified remotely, either from the host side or from the network side?

My guess is that there is basically no difference between the tp-link and the ThinkPenguin device (in either case USB-A 3.0 to GbE, but if you only want to use this directly on the Librem 5, it may be more convenient to get the USB-C version).
