No idea about your setup but that's probably a fixable driver issue. My desktop with an RTX 40-series GPU takes _maybe_ 4 frames to create an OpenGL context.

linux without the proprietary nvidia drivers is slower than the proprietary ones. try switching to them if you can. either way nvidia is worse on linux than amd.
