Oh they were looking for long term companies like Valve. So I suggested 2 companies.

Steam being an actual company behind a distro gives at least an impression of support stability because they have a economical incentive to kind of keep it going.

SteamOS is not a long term distro yet (especially considering v1 is not the same distro even though it has the same name)

    Oh I can see using ubuntu over debian then. Still I would have went suse with redhat as they were really the two big enterprise ones. suse was actually the first linux in the aughts were a guy at my workplace through it on a laptop and basically everything worked. I mean it needed more specific drivers to be at its best but it was functional out the gate which was a big deal then.
