Software
The Orange Pi 800 comes pre-installed with customized Orange Pi images based on the widespread Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / Debian Linux distributions running under kernel ver 5.18.5. It also supports other operating systems, such as Manjaro, including a fresh customized Android OS in a desktop pc style design and branded under the name Orange Pi OS(Droid), which worked well for us.
Regarding software availability and support, it’s less compared to the Raspberry Pi 400 Kit. Still, it’s enough for most users who are not into reinstalling and experimenting with new distros every few days or months.
