My current rig is:
6700xt
1600AF
32 giggle bits of DDR4
1TB NVME storage
I didn’t think it was a bad rig but steam games take forever to load, it spins on the steam logo for what feels like an eternity. I use Arch btw.

Specific timing would be helpful. Hard to know if things are improving without.
With arch, open a terminal and watch in htop and iotop for hardware contention issues.
32 giggle bits of DDR4 That is just a funny autocorrect. 😁
I actually always call them giggle bits, because I’m silly as heck 😎

CPU. Have the same setup, just with a 3060ti and ryzen 9 5900X (Arch btw). More processing power is key. Made my sister upgrade to ryzen 7 5800 and she’s loading much faster. Hope that helps.
*Will also note that they go on sale quite often and can snag a good one for less than 300 USD.

Be like me! Upgrade all of it and pretend that it makes you happy and that you might actually have more time to game!

Does steam take an eternity to launch or is it the game after steam has launched¿?
Definitely the game, my PC auto starts steam in big picture and it hardly takes any time at all

Wayland helps launch times for me as long as your system doesn’t balk at it. If you are using X, give that a shot?
I’ve tried Wayland before but had issues with various things that I can’t enumerate right now. I’ll give it another shot if you think it’ll really help
