Bluetooth seems to work ok (tested only with wireless buds). The WiFi part of the chip mostly doesn't work (and this was true also on Windows, it might be a somewhat faulty chip/cold solder on my particular device).
Otherwise, don't get me wrong, it got picked up by the kernel and it was ready to go right off the bat.
Using Wifi&Bluetooth off this chip at the same time makes both run like garbage.
