This is probably a stupid question, but what does "support" actually mean?

Important:

Currently, Steam for Linux is only supported on the most recent version of Ubuntu LTS with the Unity, Gnome, or KDE desktops.

What type of support does Valve provide for Ubuntu LTS that's different from other distros?

And why isn't SteamOS mentioned on that article?

It means if you're running a different distro (Mint, Arch, openSUSE, etc..) and have a distro specific issue, the Steam for Linux team may not be able to help you resolve it.
