Steam OS

I noticed that under available platforms, SteamOS is grouped with Linux.

Does this mean SteamOS is built off of Linux?

As far as I know, yes. It is custom linux distro.

SteamOS is a public release of our Linux-based operating system. The base system draws from Debian 8, code named Debian Jessie. Our work builds on top of the solid Debian core and optimizes it for a living room experience. Most of all, it is an open Linux platform that leaves you in full control. You can take charge of your system and install new software or content as you want.
