If I save BIOS settings as a file and the hwclock is set to UTC, the files don't get the German time. The BIOS is the BIOS, it's neither Windows, I don't use Windows, but nor the BIOS is Linux, so Linux can't "translate" UTC to local time, when I save BIOS settings. Under Linux I never noticed any disadvantage, when the hwclock is set to local time. Why should there be issues?
