Inspiron 3650, SD card, Linux

I bought this computer a few years ago, its the desktop inspiron 3650. It comes with a 5 in 1 card reader aka an sd card reader. Now I haven't used it till today when I bought an SD card to see how that tech works "curious". Well it didn't show up at all or the card reader for that matter. I bought this with windows 10 "which I now hate" and found here that it comes with ubuntu "wonderful". Well I have Antergos Linux on it "runs insanely fast" and am typing this on a usb stick on MX18 and its running in ram and it's instant response as in not a fraction of a second with large programs. 

I've used the lspci command and the reader does not show  up so is there a way to make linux recognize the card reader or is there a download of a driver I don't have to make install "I haven't got the hang of that yet" to  use. Even a way to get a kernel module to load itself as in a terminal code would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for the advanced Linux person that can give me and answer hint or a link to what I need since Dell doesn't seem to carry a dell driver in my support page area.  Have a great day everyone.
