Sure, but if the user is in the United Kingdom where they use GMT,

the motherboard should provide that option, and I have had motherboard that do offer the
option, and I have always set them to local time.
People in the "UK" won't use GMT/UTC as they also "spring
forward" and "fall back".
The time zone of a system is establish by the symbolic link /etc/localtime.
Their link will be set to "../usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London"
If the time configuration is being set by the OS, and F28 doesn't seem to have the
options to do that setting, especially for daylight savings time, how does daylight
savings time get set/unset correctly, or is the fact that this F28 system has been
upgraded from older Fedora distributions that did have the options, and the option to
tie the time maintenance to a Network Time Clock, that those options have been
retained but hidden by F28?
The zoneinfo files have all the info necessary to determine when "daylight" time
begins
and ends.
