The big SteamOS beta update that Valve shipped last month has now officially been released into the stable updates branch.
This is a very large update. It includes a new 4.11 Linux kernel, and updated drivers for AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA graphics hardware. This update also switches SteamOS from the proprietary AMDGPU-PRO driver to the open source mesa driver. Debian 8.8 and security updates are also included.

Looks like a no. On a side note you can pretty much set up your own steam box with gentoo all the way to even logging in and starting steam automatically.

Steam seems to work OK on Slackware, assuming you're willing to jump through the usual Slack greps to install the hardware hooks.
