Last time I checked (eager to buy after reviews) not "there" yet. Let see next year.

EDIT: someone on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1gu31bp/daily_drivin...

What's broken? Well still quite a lot...

Camera

Audio

Displayport alt mode

Lid switch and EC support (screen stays on when the lid is shut)

Bluetooth (tested with a patched kernel and had huge issues with audio stuttering which I suspect are firmware/driver related but haven't investigated).

Probably more??
