I'm tri-booting between Win11, Fedora and Ubuntu. I used to have

configuration of that.
It used to be dead easy to set Linux to UTC or localtime, there was a
tickbox on the graphical tool for setting the clock (during the
install, and later on the running OS). Doing the same thing on Windows
required delving into the registry after first finding out how to do
that over the web. I have had recent Linux installs presume localhost,
then had to figure out how to change it because they didn't make it
easy.
At least the option's still findable in MATE on CentOS 7, it's a
tickbox in the timezone tab in system-config-date. I can't see one on
Fedora 36, and I don't recall whether I got asked during the install.
Another of those things that got hidden by people who think we don't need to see these
options.
