Orchid Studio is a beautiful full multimedia operating system that can edit sound, video, and photographs on a 10 year old laptop with just 4GB of memory.
Although designed for 10 year old and newer 64-bit computers that are unable to upgrade to windows 11, it excels on newer systems. It works great on multi-monitor and ultra wide screen monitor setups. Orchid Studio can be run live from a USB drive, however is intended to be installed on a solid state drive or hard drive.
Orchid Studio is designed as a single user setup where the “admin” user does not require passwords for updates, installing software, and performing most administrative tasks. Other users will require passwords to be used for these functions. Passwords: root and admin initial passwords are “admin”, if you are security conscious you should change them.
