I'm looking for a wifi adapter for my desktop. I don't care if it's usb or pcie, but it has to work with windows 8.1 and ubuntu. Thanks in advance.

"Good" will depend on the signal you can receive at any of your locations. I prefer the USB products that offer a 'cradle' with an extended USB cord so I can re-locate the WiFi adapter around the computer, not stuck in the front or back ports. Brand names and highest prices won't necessarily assure you of 'best' performance, and if you change locations (ie, receive wifi from different routers/transmitters) then each one may yield different results.

Think of it as a pool party. Jump in. Try one.

I buy locally so it's a quick, easy return (no RMA hassles) and I can try a different one immediately.
