I need WiFi on my PC running ZorinOS. It does not have it onboard.
Will this work on Zorin Core 17.2?

Note: As network connectivity is a primary need for almost every PC I think there should be a list of compatible hardware.
The information is fairly non-specific, but Zorin is currently running kernel 6.8, which is well above 5.1. FebSmart is a brand I've never heard of, but as for the AX200NGW chipset it claims to be based on, Intel claims it works.

Shouldn't actually need to download the driver due to inclusion in the kernel, but it's there if you do.
Linux Driver for Febsmart AX3000
Based on the provided search results, here’s a concise answer:
The Febsmart AX3000 PCIE WiFi adapter is based on the Intel WiFi 6 AX200NGW (AX3000) module. The driver for this adapter is the iwlwifi driver, which is part of the Linux kernel. Specifically, you’ll need to ensure that your kernel has firmware_class support enabled and that the microcode files (iwlwifi-cc-a0-46.ucode and/or iwlwifi-9260-th-b0-jf-b0-34.ucode) are installed in the correct location (/lib/firmware).
Here are the steps to install the driver:
Enable firmware_class support in your kernel configuration (Device Drivers -> Generic Driver Options -> Userspace firmware loading support).
Install the microcode files in the /lib/firmware directory:
For AX 200 driver: cp iwlwifi-cc-a0-46.ucode /lib/firmware
For Intel 9260 driver: cp iwlwifi-9260-th-b0-jf-b0-34.ucode /lib/firmware
Load the iwlwifi driver (see the INSTALL and README.iwlwifi files provided with the iwlwifi package for more information).
Additionally, ensure that your Linux distribution has a working udev and uevent infrastructure configured. If you’re using a newer kernel (e.g., 5.15), you may need to install it and reboot your system.
Note that these instructions are based on the provided search results and may vary depending on your specific Linux distribution and kernel version.

Also think about supporting Linux hardware vendors. Not WiFi 6 but ...
It states Zorin 17.2 is supported.
Update: I just installed it. This WIFI card does work. No driver installation needed, it just works.
It's says I have a 720Mbps link speed on 5GHZ to my TP-Link AX4400 WiFi 6 dual band router.
Note: It needs both an open PCIe slot and a USB 2.0 slot on the mobo.
I did. The prices are much higher.
Also seeing you have WiFi 6 router makes more sense.
