Most things should work with mainline kernel. According to archwiki the OLED models still need steams kernel patches to get wifi and bt working but older models work fine.
Mainline is also missing some OLED patches around changing the panel refresh rate and audio cutting out when switching from desktop back to game mode, last I recall. Those are the issues holding me back from installing Bazzite on my OLED.
I have Bazzite on my OLED, and the audio issue is maddening. That alone is making me consider switching back to Steam OS simply for the QoL experience.
That's fair if you go into desktop mode a lot.
Note that I haven't done it, yet, because I still really like Bazzite 😅. I think I'm just holding out hope that it will get corrected sooner than later.
