What is local time for a computer? What if you have different users with
different locales and different time zones? What if your local
jurisdiction makes changes to local time (such as advancing DST)? What if
you move to a different time zone and take your computer? The Linux kernel
keeps time in UTC (effectively the same as GMT) and converts it on the fly
for presentation to users using the time zone database and the user's
locale.
