I still don't understand what enp0s10 is supposed to mean though. For my purposes eth0 and wlan0 work perfectly well. Output of ifconfig below with nothing other than the wired connection and loopback listed.

Ah, still having problems then I see chief. You've prompted me to knock up a quick Mint 19.3 VM - just installing - now so I can exactly what you have to deal with. Haven't really used Mint at all for ages and my only other Mint VM was prehistoric. Your sources.list files didn't look broken, just a bit weird compared to "normal" Ubuntu or Debian setups. I'll wait until I've had a quick poke on the VM to see if that's expected or your system is doing odd things.

On to your wifi device - I'm presuming you've rebooted today and are starting fresh? I'd check to see if your system has loaded the driver correctly first of all.

lsmod | grep 8812au

If that comes up empty, load the module manually and repeat the test:

sudo modprobe 8812au
lsmod | grep 8812au

Report back. Next thing will be to check dmesg for the device initialising and with the driver working correctly we can bring up the device fully.
