I tried it two years ago. I couldn't tell the difference performance wise. A large majority of the games in my (extensive) stream library worked. Some wouldn't stream to my Steam Link [1] (black screen). Couldn't get controllers to work on a few of them. One or two didn't have sound. One in particular would crash and somehow make the VM unbootable. Made two attempts with that game and ended up giving up after that.

The host system was Arch, the guest was Windows 7. Fedora is the only other distro I ever heard being it done on. This page [2] was very helpful.
