AI-generatedHardware clock synchronization conflicts in dual-boot environments
Arch Linux follows the standard convention of maintaining the hardware time clock (RTC) in UTC. This configuration is managed via timedatectl , but conflicts frequently arise when the system dual-boots with Windows, which typically expects the RTC to be set to local time. While timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 allows the kernel to interpret the hardware clock as
