Make Linux Use Local Time

Making Linux use local time the same way Windows does is probably the best option. Windows does have a registry setting that forces it to store the time as UTC, but it reportedly isn’t well supported and can cause problems with some third-party applications that always assume the hardware clock is in local time. It’s also incompatible with Windows’ own Internet time-syncing service.

The steps to make your Linux system use local time can vary from Linux distribution to Linux distribution. However, on any Linux distribution with systemd, you can use the timedatectl command to make this change. This will work on modern versions of Ubuntu, Fedora, Red Hat, Debian, Mint, and other Linux distributions that use systemd.

To make this change, first open a Terminal window on your Linux system. Run the following command to put the real time clock on the motherboard into local time. Linux will store the time in local time, just like Windows does.

timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock

To check your current settings, run:

timedatectl

If you see “RTC in local TZ: yes”, Linux is set to use the local time zone instead of UTC. The command warns you that this mode is not fully supported and can cause some problems when changing between time zones and with daylight savings time. However, this mode is probably better supported than the UTC option in Windows. If you dual-boot with Windows, Windows will handle daylight savings time for you.

If you ever want to undo this change, run the following command:

timedatectl set-local-rtc 0 --adjust-system-clock

Install the Windows Subsystem for Linux

Before installing any Linux distros for WSL, you must ensure that the “Windows Subsystem for Linux” optional feature is enabled:

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator and run:
   Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
2. Restart your computer when prompted.

Install your Linux Distribution of Choice

To download and install your preferred distro(s), you have three choices:

1. Download and install from the Windows Store (see below)
2. Download and install from the Command-Line/Script (read the manual installation instructions)
3. Download and manually unpack and install (for Windows Server – instructions here)

Complete initialization of your distro

Now that your Linux distro is installed, you must initialize your new distro instance once, before it can be used.

Install Bash on Ubuntu on Windows

1. Open a command prompt as your normal user
2. Run bash


After you have accepted the license, the Ubuntu user mode image will be downloaded, and a “Bash on Ubuntu on Windows” shortcut will be added to your Start Menu.

To launch Bash on Ubuntu Windows, either run bash at a cmd/PowerShell command prompt, or use the Start Menu shortcut.

Graphical Applications

In order to run Linux GUI applications on Bash On Ubuntu on Windows, you must:

1. Install a X server for Windows
2. Configure bash to tell GUIs to use the local X server

Install VcXsrv

In order to run graphical Linux applications, you’ll need an X server.

VcXsrv is the only fully open source and up-do-date native X server for windows.

1. Download and run the latest installer
2. Locate the VcXsrv shortcut in the Start Menu
   1. Right click on it
   2. Select More>Open file location
   3. Copy the VcXsrv shortcut file
3. Paste the shortcut in %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
4. Launch VcXsrv for the first time

You may receive a prompt to allow it through your firewall. Cancel/deny this request! Otherwise, other computers on your network could access the server.

A X icon will appear in your system tray.

Configure bash to use the local X server

1. In bash run:
   echo "export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0" >> ~/.bashrc
2. To have the configuration changes take effect, restart bash, or run:
   . ~/.bashrc

Test a graphical application

1. Install x11-apps
sudo apt-get install x11-apps
2. Run xeyes

A new window will open, containing a pair of eyes that will follow your mouse movements.
