For some odd reason, whenever I come home (16:00), the clock is set 8 hours ahead (0:00, date jumps to the next day). I have to set my clock manually every time or restart my computer to get the correct time again. There isn’t any weird time zone shenanigans, the automatic time zone is still correct, and I don’t live somewhere with daylight savings. What’s wrong with my clock???

I am using Fedora 43 KDE (note: the issue was a thing in 42 KDE as well, but not with 42 Workstation. Either this is a KDE bug or there is some weird conflict with the remnants of gnome stuff. Or maybe I borked something I shouldn’t have, idk)

edit: It is time zone shenanigans! My timezone is GMT+8. I have ran “timedatectl set-local-rtc 0” (the warning mentioned this when I ran “timedatectl status” as one person said to do) so let’s see if that fixes it

    Do you happen to dual boot to Windows when at school, and live 8 timezones from Britain? Linux by default stores the hardware clock in UTC (and concerts to local time on the fly), while Windows stores the hardware clock in local time.

      I am using GMT+8, interesting. I don’t dual boot windows at school, but I do have a dual boot with windows (but I rarely ever boot into windows…)
