I use it on my TV downstairs, connected with my Linux desktop upstairs. Performance wise it works great when wired, but it is unreliable on wireless. For casual gaming the latency is perfectly fine, but some games, like Dirt Rally, it can make huge difference even for a mediocre player like me.
Audio works fine almost always [1]. Controls usually work ok (I use both an x360 controller and a steam controller) but sometime it requires a bit of connecting and disconnecting, but to be honest it is probably more of a proton issue than steam link.
Overall I'm quite happy, although it is not yet a seamless console-like experience.
[1] There was a brief period last year when steam would crash when running under PulseAudio, and switching to alsa would prevent audio to be streamed. The issue fixed itself, either because of a steam update or a system update.
