From recollection, which may not be completely accurate, the Asrock
motherboard that I have now is the first motherboard I've had where
the bios has not offered a setting to set the system clock to
GMT/Local, and I have always set the system clock to local because
Windows, which I tri-boot with, used to have issues with the system
clock being GMT. Having said this, on this motherboard there isn't
any option to change it, the front screen is showing local time and
that time is correct for daylight savings time, even though the
machine wasn't switched on when daylight savings time kicked in.
If you think about it, there's no reason for the mobo to know what
timezone it's in. All it has to do is keep track of the time, and let
the OS worry about timezones, DST and other time/date related stuff.
Sure, but if the user is in the United Kingdom where they use GMT, then
presumably they would run their entire system in GMT, whereas other
locations may or may not want to, so the motherboard should provide that
option, and I have had motherboard that do offer the option, and I have
always set them to local time.
If the time configuration is being set by the OS, and F28 doesn't seem
to have the options to do that setting, especially for daylight savings
time, how does daylight savings time get set/unset correctly, or is the
fact that this F28 system has been upgraded from older Fedora
distributions that did have the options, and the option to tie the time
maintenance to a Network Time Clock, that those options have been
retained but hidden by F28?
