==History and Lore==
===Soviet Era (1981-1991):===
In Feburary 14, 1981, 5 Kazakh IT Engineers named Ayat Bakhytzhanev (1952), Raygul Kuanyshova (1949), Baurzhan Nurzhanev (1946) and Batyrkhan Daniarov (1963) opened up "Almaty Computer Studio", With some of the Sviger PCs available in the Soviet Union back then, they decided to make their own operating system called "QazSviger", In which was a Kazakh Version of Sviger that is cross-compatible with the original one. Since Sviger was an open-source operating system, ACS had taken some hardware and software from Sviger, and modifying it for faster performance and a cheaper price. By 1984, Many Khaghalt-Run PCs are sold to many to Central Asia and the Caucasus, and become the most powerful and cost-efficient operating system in the Soviet Union back then. It has been since 1986, that they rename their company to "Turan Technologies" to distinguish themselves from the other computer studios of the USSR. As by 1987, Turan Technologies decided to build their headquarters in Baurzhan Momyshuly Highway, Which at that time they unofficially chosen the name "Khaghalt" for their operating system and (Which became official in 1991).
===Fall of Communism and Khaghalt (1991-1994):===
By the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, Kazakhstan was the last country to exit the Soviet Union resulting in Kazakhstan being the entire USSR for 4 days. Now, Khaghalt decided to expand to countries worldwide after the collapse. Since 1993, Khaghalt opened a branch in Caracas, Venezuela and so as in Kampala, Uganda for worldwide distribution of Khaghalt PCs and Devices. It has been reported in RCTV's El Observador news program, that Khaghalt is overtaking Windows in Venezuela, Making Khaghalt 7.0 and Orient more popular than Windows 95 and NT 6.0. Khaghalt also opened it's branch in Kiev, Ukraine later at 1994, hiring some Ukrainian Employees to Turan Technologies.
===Acquirement from Khabar Agency (1995-2002):===
Khaghalt has many users around the world in Venezuela, Uganda, Kenya, Ukraine and Myanmar. However, Turan Technologies had been bought for a 34% share from Khabar Agency, Which had made specific Khaghalt Versions for QazPDA 2001, that are used by Khabar TV in their broadcasts and graphic design. It had been controversial by many consumers wanting to switch to Windows and PeachUI, Since they accused Khabar Agency for "Monopoly" by acquiring 34% of Turan Technologies. Meanwhile, Khaghalt opened offices in the near Central Asian countries, in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan and Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. 
===Journey to Africa (2002-2006):===
At this time, Khaghalt now took over some countries in Africa, competing with Sviger and Windows. With that in mind, There are a lot of cultures and tropes in Africa and Latin America about how they compared Windows to Khaghalt. Because of this, Khaghalt is gaining 150 Million ₸ ($325059.15) Revenue from majority African and Latin-American consumers. 
===Controversy on the Russo-Georgian War (2006-2009): ===
By the time of the Russo-Georgian War, Khaghalt Aquarius was the latest major version of Khaghalt. In 2008, Georgian National Communications Commission had accused of Turan Technologies for illegal business operations and participating in the military and economic annexation of Georgia, through installation boxes and discs to Windows Vista-running Computers in Georgia. According to the GNCC, Khaghalt has provided unlicensed computer installations and distributions of Khaghalt Aquarius in replacement of Windows Vista, in the conflict zones of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. GNCC had received complainants from Windows Vista users having their computer's operating system replaced to Khaghalt Aquarius. At that time, There are illegal vendors for Khaghalt Aquarius installation boxes in the conflict regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which the GNCC is trying to track down on. It has been since August 2008, That the Georgian Governmnent had tracked down on illegal copies of Khaghalt Aquarius sold in sketchy vendors in the conflict zones of South Ossetia. By that, many of these illegal vendors have been caught and arrested, and carbon copies of the Khaghalt Aquarius installation discs and product key numbers have been destroyed by the police. 
The GNCC Imposed 2 Fines on Turan Technologies, The first in amount in 10000 GEL (1722123.67 ₸) and second is in 1000000 GEL (172212367 ₸). Because Georgian law envisages criminal liability for illegal business activities, the GNCC has notified the General Prosecutor of Georgia for Turan Technolgies' alleged violations. The Prosecutor General of Georgia was expected to initiate legal action against Turan Technologies, which had led to close Khaghalt's Georgian Office. In October 7, 2008, Tblisi City Court upheld the GNCC's decision, finding Turan Technologies liable for unlicensed vendors of OS Installations in Georgia. 
Although Turan Technologies wasn't liable for illegal OS vendors in the conflict zones of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, Turan Technologies had to blame the Illegal Vendors instead of the management, as that wasn't corporate fault, but rather by the black market.
===The KhaghanRenaissance (2009-2019)===
With the help of Microsoft and Verizon, Turan Technologies plans to slowly developed Version Roentgenium, On April 12, 2011. With that, It was the most revolutionary version of Khaghalt, which subsequently introduces the 1440p Quality and a support for 21:9 Ultrawide monitors. By that time, Khaghalt was being innovative in designing and corporate branding as they revealed their new logo since 2013 (Which is a 4-Curved Infinity-Like Ribbon) that is similar to the previous logo, but utilizing bright, vivid and more colorful palettes. With Khaghalt Xenon in 2013, They also introduced multi-desktop feature where you can scroll like on mobile, but on PC. With that, Xenon introduced touchscreen and pen support, in which is optimal for computers with a touchpad. By 2016, Khaghalt Pluto featured desktop and lockscreen customization, and the widgets bar from Windows Longhorn/Vista. It was by 2017 that Khaghalt revealed their first ever smartphone called the "KhanPhone", Which this phone features a magnetic charging pad and a backside display. The KhanPhone's Appearance looks somewhat of a glitter unicorn gradient from Pink to Blue, which this phone was so popular by many -core aesthetics till today. As Nazarbayev resigned from his presidential status in 2019, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev decided to rename the capital of Astana to "Nur-Sultan".
=== Khaghalt's Golden Age (2019-2023):===
By the time of COVID-19, It doesn't stop Turan Technologies from releasing Version Haumea, In which features an improvement and overhaul of features from the Pluto Version, for simplicity. It had gained attention by International news outlets for it's popularity and cost-efficiency in 3rd-World and LDC-Category countries. It has been referred to the media as the "Turkic Windows", "Kazakh Windows", "Russian Windows" or "Central Asian Windows". By the release of Version Scorpio, it subsequently update it's kernel to "Newton 2.5" after many years in the lineup from Roentgenium. Version Scorpio had gained a positive reputation for being an improvement and overhaul of version Haumea, and negative due to high system requirements and incompatible with other kernels. In February 2022, It marked the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which had lead Turan Technologies to terminate its partnership with Sviger, and update their kernel again to make it more independent from Sviger (Although, It is technically a Sviger Fork). With Version Sednia released in 2023, It introduces to the "Newton 3.0" Lineup and a much more manageable UI/UX. Version Sednia had gained mainly positive reputation, calling it an improvement from the Scorpio Version. With that, Khaghalt integrates Microsoft's fluent design starting from Scorpio, and incorporate it with brighter and more pastel palettes.
