In windows , i just simply installed .exe file and got wifi on desktop .

How can i got wi-fi on linux desktop ??

Any solution ??

This repository contains deprecated driver provided initially by Mediatek, it's unsupported by >v4.9 and v5.x kernels

So, what i need to do now ?? Anything to do work with v5.x kernels .

Did you know any driver that works with latest kernel ??

Thanks in advance .

It must be supported by modern mt7601u driver in your distro, kernel 5.4 reported to support mt7601u

Refer to this page to check your distro and device support:
https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=usb:148f-7601

Some distribs doesn't include proprietary (non-free) firmware required to run wifi stick, in this case you can grab it here:
sudo wget -O /lib/firmware/mt7601u.bin https://github.com/art567/mt7601usta/tree/master/src/mcu/bin/MT7601.bin

Another way to get firmware binary directly from kernel.org:

sudo wget -O /lib/firmware/mt7601u.bin git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/mt7601u.bin
