Does anyone know why SteamOS is based on arch rather than Debian?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes, but that isn't really relevant to the current state of things. I still think Gnome's wayland implementation is ahead in some ways, but why would that matter when various game related stuff doesn't work on Gnome. We are talking about a gaming company here.
