Yeah, it works pretty well! I shared my experience in this post: https://old.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1k59qk7/oblivion_remastered_working_out_of_the_box_full/. Definitely worth checking out!

On my Arc A770, I faced an error that suggests DX12 is not found. Kind of a bummer, honestly.

I’ve had a good run with it, but I’m itching for even better performance. It says the DLSS frame generation isn’t available unless I enable it in the OS settings—which is odd since I had no issues with this in other games.
