The console UI is just the Steam Big Picture mode but unlike desktop Linux is loaded into at startup. Although loading it at start up can also be enabled on Linux desktops even if you aren’t using SteamOS.

I wasn’t aware that odysse was originally a crypto video sharing platform, I thought it operated more like YouTube.

Hey mate, It’s not exactly a crypto video sharing platform, but it does incorporate crypto in how it operates. Odysee isn’t the blockchain itself, it’s a website frontend for the blockchain, which has previously always been the LBRY network. How it works is that you would receive small amounts of LBC (LBRY coins) for watching some content. You can than use the earned currency to upload videos and articles onto the platform, and it can be boosted by other peoples channel donations to support individual content creators, which are optionally either more LBC or using traditional fiat currency if you so choose. I know it’s very easy to upload stuff because I have my own channel, you practically aren’t even paying for it since you can upload a video for as little at 0.0001 LBC. My understanding is that they’re moving away from LBRY and towards Arweave, though I’ve not looked at the FAQ yet (linked below). If you check their channel, they posted more a lot of info at the same time as this video. The Odysee community has been waiting for details on an announced update for a few weeks.

I’m not disagreeing with you, but this video style is only meant to discuss the issue, not simply tell people exactly what’s happening and end it at that. But I see your point, and I’ve noted it: I’ll make sure I share more quick and to-the-point video’s when I do in the future.
