Granted I also Debian Sid, so it is pretty much up to date with Arch.
But that disregards the topic, I didn't ask what Distro had better performance, I was asking which out of Debian Jessie or SteamOS (basically they're the same release, Valve has just tweaked the base Jessie with things like their own compositor.)

Wait, Debian has the latest Mesa? I seem to remember GOL trying out the Nouveau driver and they had to use an external repository.

On the subject of Mesa, apparently mesa 11.x causes some nasty issues with VMware Fusion on OSX. Makes gnome-shell pretty much unusable. I've reported the bug to vmware, not sure if they'll do anything about it. Will probably try to report it to the mesa devs.
@StianTheDark
Ha, yeah I generally stay away from using the installers outside of the repository, but nVidia seems to have cleaned up their act, going so far as to informing you that you already have the packaged drivers installed in Debian, and that you should remove them before using their installer, plus it puts in place the alternatives files, and asks if you want dkms enabled.
