I wonder if they considered openSUSE Tumbleweed as a base rolling release and if so, why they picked Arch. Is it because openSUSE Tumbleweed is less popular? Too "opinionated" / "customized, with Yast and all? Or just that (someone in) the team is more proficient in Arch? openSUSE seems more robust than Arch overall, and especially for updates for which you are not particularly expected to read the document before updatinopenSUSE seems more robust than Arch overall, and especially for updates for which you are not particularly expected to read the document before updating [1]. It would seem that just using openSUSE Tumbleweed instead of Arch would mean less maintenance work for Valve because of this. I guess they need to test and validate updates before pushing them to the device anyway. KDE/Plasma is also a first class desktop environment on openSUSE, so it would also be a good fit, since they are adopting this desktop environment. Maybe Arch is more "KISS" and therefore easier to hack? I also wonder if they considered Gentoo, which would help them tweak the (optimization-related) compilation flags for customized builds?
