A new PC port of Super Mario 64, with native Linux version. It comes as an AppImage, and requires a ROM file of the original game.

Seems to work well. FPS is locked to 30 by default, but you can change that from the settings. It even supports ultrawide resolutions, with the possibility to change HUD aspect ratio to 16:9.

It also supports HD texture packs, such as this one: https://github.com/GhostlyDark/SM64-Reloaded-GS. Just decompress it in to the mods folder, and toggle between original and alternative textures with the Tab key.

Ship of harkinian (OOT) has all kinds of features like straight up adding buttons to the game and modifying the HUD accordingly, so I assume there will be things like that. Some of those features like adding right stick camera even make the game feel a whole generation newer.

I played through that game on my Steam Deck a couple years ago. Right stick camera made it feel like a whole new game.
