Well, you can take the opposite way: get a Jessie minimal install, add steamos-compositor + steamos-modeswitch-inhibitor (and some other specific steamos packages if you like) and you'll end up with a sort of SteamOS which can be used to experiment with various drivers and kernels.
Indeed, what makes SteamOS different in terms of performance is (mainly) the custom kernel and the window manager (steamcompmgr).
