BIOS Clock Setting on Multiboot Systmes

[Kirkx]

The following tip might be of interest to fellow forum members who run multiboot setups with different operating systems (Linux Lite, Windows, Debian, Arch, etc).

Windows and some Linux distros that target Windows market (Ubuntu and its derivatives, including Linux Lite) have the BIOS clock (hardware clock) set to be interpreted in local time while most distros targeting experienced Linux users have the hardware clock set to be interpreted in UTC. This can create a real mess unless you configure all OSes to use the same time standard, which in Linux world is UTC. Here is the link to Arch wiki that explains how to do it in Windows and Ubuntu (and Linux Lite):

I was blissfully unaware that UTC is the 'standard' in the linux world. Where is that documented?
