I have noticed a large portion of those on #Mastodon happen to be #Linux users and #FOSS advocates in general. Lets see just how many are.

What's your OS?

@bazurk Now I am wondering whether Duel Boot is a typo or an insight.

@marix @bazurk Never did du?lboot myself, but I heard it is quite an intense fight between the windows updates and the user repairing grub...

@phantom @marix @bazurk And hardware clock. Windows likes it local while Linux sets to UTC.

@dpwiz @marix @bazurk Does that cause actual issues or do both just silently correct it to what they need as soon as they get network connectivity?

@phantom @dpwiz @bazurk as long as you have network it's usually not an issue. Also, nowadays you can tell Windows to use UTC. That's better than the traditional approach of using local in Linux, too, as it saves you from having two systems adjusting your clock for DST.

@marix @phantom @bazurk There was a registry hack to use UTC, but I couldn't find it in the recent versions and just disabled it's NTP altogether.
