I'm using an RX 560 on Linux[¤], I added a PPA to get the newest stable driver and Mesa, and overall it works fine, with a couple of minor annoyances that may be fixed as I'm writing this.
One thing that doesn't seem to work is hardware acceleration for Youtube videos in Firefox. Playback in a window is fine, fullscreen isn't. Another is that dual-link DVI did not work, so I had to change to using DisplayPort instead, though that issue may have been fixed in the current driver, I haven't checked. For me that's fine, I wanted to switch to DisplayPort anyway, to use the audio output on my monitor.
Those are incredibly minor issues compared to the woes of using the proprietary Nvidia driver. Not to mention the sordid history of graphics drivers on Windows.
[¤] KDE Neon, which is based on Ubuntu LTS.
