Setting the RTC with local time does not work with dual boot because
when daylight saving time comes, both systems will do the shift,
resulting in a 2 hour shift unless some time synchronization corrects it.
By default yes, but it need not stay that way. All my Windows installations use
local, and all are set to not recognize bi-annual time shifts.
Then the Windows clock is wrong half of the year.
Not here. Maybe I would better have written "not respond to" rather than "not
recognize". The implication as quoted is multiboot. I don't have any PCs with
only Windows installed. I doubt any of them have ever been booted to Windows
during a change period. Linux is in charge of making hardware clock adjustments
here at the scheduled epochs.
