Has anyone tried it? Does it have better graphics card support after installation, or is it just a custom theme and I have to install the drivers myself again?

My Ubuntu installation gets screen tearing on 920m, so I was wondering of installing this to get better support.

Would that work?

SteamOS is Debian with Steam preinstalled. That's it.

Use a compositor like compton or something.

SteamOS is for systems that are solely for gaming and nothing else.

>Use a compositor

Or stop being a newfag and spend 10 minutes reading the website so you know how to actually fix it instead of just covering it with a second layer of composition.

Just use your GNU+Linux distro of choice and install Steam, rather than this gimped monstrosity.
