SteamOS "Brewmaster" Is Valve's New Debian 8.1 Based Version

[xeekei]

Pretty sure SteamOS doesn't use a window manager for it default session, so would be hard to benchmark one.

It does however use a compositor, forked from xcompmgr.

1099 packages, plus 48 32-bit versions of the same.

96 of those 1099 are patched or backported vs. Debian

9 of those 1099 are Valve originals

Wouldn't they have been better for fork compton? It's several years newer than xcompmgr and already does correct opengl compositing.
