Hi Product Hunt! đź‘‹
I'm Muhammet, the solo maker behind Karya DE.
The problem: Linux users outside the US/Europe often feel ignored. Localization is an afterthought. Hardware optimization? You're on your own.
So I built this: A modern Linux desktop environment with glass‑morphism design, Turkish‑localized widgets (prayer times, weather, news), and automatic hardware‑aware performance tuning.
It's built on Qt/KDE technologies, but this isn't just a theme — it's a full desktop experience tailored for a specific culture.
What makes it different:
✅ Glass‑morphism UI with real‑time blur & transparency
✅ Turkish widgets (Diyanet prayer times, 16‑city weather, 10‑news sources)
âś… Automatic GPU detection (NVIDIA/AMD) and performance profiles
✅ systemd‑optional (runit + elogind support)
✅ One‑script install
Made in Turkey, built for everyone.
I'd love your feedback — what's the first widget you'd like to see? 👇

Honestly the glass-morphism design looks really slick, but have you considered adding a one-click toggle to quickly switch between translucent and solid UI modes? Sometimes that frosted glass effect can get distracting when you're trying to focus on code or documents for long stretches. Basically a quick keyboard shortcut to tone down the transparency would make it way more usable day-to-day.

honestly the glass-morphism looks really clean and the Turkish widget localization is a nice touch, you can tell whoever built it actually uses it daily. curious how the hardware-aware performance tuning holds up on older machines though
