Dual Booting allows you to have multiple operating systems installed on your computer for many different reasons. Today we look at Luke's setup with CachyOS and Windows to see how it works and why he does it.

@ 14:02. This happens because Windows uses local time and Linux uses UTC. You can fix it with a command to tell linux to use local time: sudo timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock Or you can tell Windows to use UTC via the registry
Happy Birthday Linus!
Linus wrote Linux. Now Linus is actually promoting Linux. What a time to be alive.
15:28 This is the classic dual boot clock issue. Windows reads the hardware clock as local time while Linux reads it as UTC, so they keep overwriting each other. Easiest fix is telling Windows to use UTC too: add a DWORD called RealTimeIsUniversal set to 1 under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation, reboot, done.
LTT is making so many videos about Linux, it really is the year of the Linux desktop
14:02 - It's actually pretty easy to fix! This happens because Linux assumes that the hardware time is in UTC, while Windows assumes its stored as "local time". You can fix it with one command: either force Linux to consider hardware time as "local time", or registry edit Windows to consider hardware time as UTC.
6:10 Teams chime PTSD trigger alert!
I'm enjoying how much Linux content this channel has lately. That is all.
I wish you the happiest of birthdays today linus, hope you’re doing great.
6:10 you got me, editor. you got me good.

I’ve been dual booting since 2020. this video is so important for people who wanna get away from windows but arent sure they want to commit 100% but also for people who have just some software that they need to use from time to time that doesn’t work on Linux. For me it’s League of Legends and some software for work😅
I'd definitely be interested in a video on getting secure boot working wit CachyOS.
14:10 I think the fix was to set windows date and time to be based off UTC in the windows registry
11:06 "Warnings come after the spell" moment right there. It bugs the crap out of me and my coworkers.
1:55 I beg your finest pardon
The clock issue is because Linux traditionally sets the RTC (real time clock) in the BIOS to UTC. Windows normally uses local time. Either can be instructed to do it differently. There's a registry key called RealTimeIsUniversal you can flip in Windows to assume the RTC is UTC. Exact instructions vary by distro, but making Linux assume the RTC is local time is equally easy. Personally, I think having the RTC as UTC makes more sense because that means the system clock is always the same, regardless of what conversion might need to be done to show you the correct local time.
7:30 Some technical corrections: - The GRUB menu happens *before* the computer boots into your distro,. Even if your distro themes it, it's technically separate from your distro. As far as I know, GRUB doesn't use Linux. It's the software that knows how to load Linux (or the Windows boot-loader) and hand your computer over to it. - Your distro scans for other operating systems when GRUB is being installed/updated, not when GRUB itself runs. It's already been pre-configured with your computer's operating systems.
already on Linux using Intel and Nvidia Perfectly fine! 12th gen i9 and a 4070 32gb of ddr5 on cachyos
