My Dell laptop running Xubuntu shows the correct time and time zone (PST)
The BIOS setup shows the same time (but does not know about time zones)
Windows 10 shows the correct time zone (UTC-8:00) but a time 8 hours
earlier, apparently UTC itself.  If I un-set "set time automatically" I can
correct this, but I have to do it on each reboot.  That's what I want to
avoid.
