[kodimyl]

My HP Compaq dc7600 SFF PC with Linux Mint 19.1 "Cinnamon" installed does not recognize Realtek RTL8188FTV WiFi USB Adapter.
lsusb returns, "Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:f179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp."
Please help Newbie here

Try this:

You need to establish temporary internet by other means for this. Also, you need to have disabled Secure Boot in the BIOS of your computer.

Launch a terminal window (this is how to launch a terminal window) and copy/paste the commands into the terminal.
