I am using Arch linux on a nvidia machine with the latest nvidia package, and the default linux kernel. I have noticed steam takes forever to launch and seems to loop, this happens on both xorg and wayland

What desktop environment or wm are you using? Are you using a login manager or launching your session from tty?

I've had similar issues in the past but in my case I had to configure things so that when I log in it sets environment variables correctly and have my sway config start up xdg-desktop-portal correctly.

I've also had situations where specifically xdg-desktop-portal-gtk was causing problems so id uninstall that while keeping the other xdg-desktop-portal-* packages, so it could be one of those causing it

I'm using KDE so my WM is kwin, and my login manager is SDDM
