Kali is a rite of passage, if you are not experienced in Linux and the terminal then its not suitable, SEE the Kali full docs, its a long read but important.
Now I have never heard of a ZTopinc wi-fi, but it probably is an assembly using either RTL88**or BCM 43 chipsets if you have Ubuntu/Mint/MX/Parrot home on a bootable USB you can run it in test mode and from the terminal run inxi -Nn and it will tell you which chipset, [you may need to install inxi from the software manager]

Is Kali Linux Right For You?
As the distribution’s developers, you might expect us to recommend that everyone should be using Kali Linux. The fact of the matter is, however, that Kali is a Linux distribution specifically geared towards professional penetration testers and security specialists, and given its unique nature, it is NOT a recommended distribution if you’re unfamiliar with Linux or are looking for a general-purpose Linux desktop distribution for development, web design, gaming, etc.

Keep in mind that not all wifi adapters are capable of being put into monitor mode nor do all support packet injection.
If your adapter doesn't have that capability no driver is going to help you.
I suggest to take a look at Taiwanese Alfa cards, these are the best for wifi hacking.
