Why Steam is so slow to start?
Steam takes forever to start (5-10s) on AMD ryzen 9 7950x, it's not automatically started on boot. Closing also takes a few seconds. Could that be due to sloppy programming? I am a programmer myself.
Operating system? Storage type?
When i start steam, it looks for a client update first, then applies it if there is one.
I think it’s just Steam being Steam. I have the same thing (Arch NVMe)
