I have another Pi on WiFi which does work. I might try inserting that

Ok, so it does _need_ to work then, gotcha. And you know the adaptor
works in the same machine in the same USB port but under Windows -
that's really helpful to know as well. Have you tried moving USB ports
though while dmesg -wT is running? Linux makes XHCI and USB3 more
awkward than it needs to be so definitely try that.
Weren't some of your command outputs earlier showing a wlan device at
times on your PC? I presumed that was another interface or you'd said
you'd disabled it manually? Just checking we're not missing something
insanely obvious and it's not actually popping up as wlan0.
I note it doesn't seem to be grabbing the firmware blob and loading it
during the module insertion on the adaptor either. Might be time to
write off this driver and choose one of the other github sources -
annoyingly there are several of them to choose from.
Please remind me exactly what manufacturer make/model variant of this
device you've got as well, better check some basics. We need to
backtrack a bit and check it against a list like this:
https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/realtek.html
And this time we'll be more careful about which random github project we
choose. You also started off this whole thread by saying that the
officially provided Ubuntu rtl8812au-dkms package didn't work as well
right?
Definitely pop it into the Pi just to see what dmesg spits out - a
working Linux module running there would be great, we'll steal the info
from it and leverage it to get the right one for your PC.
Finally install this (which I've never seen before tonight somehow):
sudo apt install hardinfo
Which is nothing like as useful as "lspci -vvv" and the like but is
still surprisingly useful.
And finally what does this say:
* sudo lshw -C network
