It was included in their promotional strategy. Using Debian helped them avoid canonical requirements for Ubuntu. Nothing unique about it.

Rhel is available for testing, but the decision to use it depends on your judgment. They won’t hold you responsible, and it’s handled with the same ease as OS X.

They craft their own versions for OEMs to stand against consoles. When you examine the early OEM prototypes, they closely resemble consoles and target the living room setting.

And it's quite old and slow. CentOS offers a free version. There isn't a free trial for RHEL if you're not interested in Ubuntu. For someone with an average need, avoid RHEL.

Initially, they partnered with 12 OEMs/Builder Boutiques, including Alienware/Dell and CyberPower. However, both of those companies decided to not wait for Valve anymore, and released their console sized machines as Windows machines when the Steam Machines were supposed to come out. Turns out, Windows and a custom UI is more viable than SteamOS, especially since HivemindUI is now system inclusive. Look at Debian and Ubuntu based distros. They're the most common, so they're going to see better support. It comes down to personal preference, but if you decide on Ubuntu, do consider installing another environment if you don't care about Unity.

Unity runs smoothly and doesn't hinder gaming performance. I dismiss those who avoid it simply because Ubuntu's early version wasn't perfect. I've been using it since the release of 16.04, and it has significantly improved. It consumes CPU cycles less than heavier desktops but uses more RAM compared to lighter systems. The exact difference depends on your setup—check online; it's usually not a big issue with 8GB or more RAM. Steam games are generally not very demanding.

It's using kernel version 3.10, roughly four years back. The performance isn't very high.
