   Annoying that #Ubuntu family operating systems still do not give a “use UTC” option during installation for the system timezone. Even my #Win10 laptop uses UTC.
   
   Too many family members are in timezones other than US-Pacific. Using a local timezone is just confusing, just as using AM and PM instead of 24-hour time is.

      Have you ever had the phone ring at 06:00 local time because you told someone you’re up at 07:00, but it takes an hour to be ready to talk?
      
      The caller was in US-Central, so they waited until 08:00.
      
      Timezones cause confusion.
