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. π

I actually always call them giggle bits, because I'm silly as heck π
Be like me! Upgrade all of it and pretend that it makes you happy and that you might actually have more time to game!
I suppose the CPU but it could help to understand which exact disk and which DIMMs (including latencies) you're using.
Bear in mind you can easily drop a 5800 X3D into practically any AM4 system. The large L3 somewhat lowers the significance faster DDR4 with tight timings (though it still doesn't hurt to have that too).
Samsung EVO 840 I think but I could be misremembering, and my RAM runs like 2333 if that makes sense. I think a 5800X3D is definitely in my future
I believe the sweet spot for Matisse and Vermeer (zen 2 and 3 chiplet design CPUs) memory wise is 3600 CL16. Later batches of these CPUs may have better luck with stability at 3800 MT/s (due to process maturity) but that would be at a point of diminishing returns (especially with the X3D).
You might improve the performance of your current CPU by tuning your memory, but I won't know how far you can get with your kit unless we have the exact model number.
The 1600AF seems to be zen+ based (characteristically similar to the Ryzen 5 2600). For zen+, something like 3200 MT/s CL14 would be optimal if you can achieve it, 3200 CL16 would be good too.
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
Does steam take an eternity to launch or is it the game after steam has launchedΒΏ?
Definitely the game, my PC auto starts steam in big picture and it hardly takes any time at all
