Fedora KDE keeps pushing my clock 8 hours ahead whenever I come back home from school (sopuli.xyz)

update: The issue has been fixed! Turns out all I had to do was set the clock to use UTC time using "timedatectl set-local-rtc 0"...

For some odd reason, whenever I come home (16:00), the clock is set 8 hours ahead (0:00, date jumps to the next day). I have to set my clock manually every time or restart my computer to get the correct time again. ~~There isn't any weird time zone shenanigans~~, the automatic time zone is still correct, and I don't live somewhere with daylight savings. What's wrong with my clock???

I am using Fedora 43 KDE (note: the issue was a thing in 42 KDE as well, but not with 42 Workstation. Either this is a KDE bug or there is some weird conflict with the remnants of gnome stuff. Or maybe I borked something I shouldn't have, idk)

edit: It is time zone shenanigans! My timezone is GMT+8. I have ran "timedatectl set-local-rtc 0" (the warning mentioned this when I ran "timedatectl status" as one person said to do) so let's see if that fixes it

Had this issue on a dual boot, could be caused by timezones.

Yes, afaIk, the solution is to set some parameter, like HardwareClockIsUTC, in the Windows registry to true. ~~However, OP doesn't mention running a dual boot machine.~~
