SteamOS (the operating system for the Steam Deck) is based on Arch Linux (the blue A), so that's what's going on in the bottom panel.

The red swirl is for another Linux operating system, called Debian. I don't know what OP is referring to by Steam 'leaving' Debian in the top panel.

Versions of SteamOS before 3.0 were Debian-based.

The SteamOS running on "steam machines" when they were a thing were debian

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
