Changing the time zone on a debian based system is fairly simple.
#To check your current timezonerun <nowiki>user@server: run ''~# sudo date'' </nowiki>which should return something like '' <nowiki>Mon May 13 00:58:26 UTC 2019'' </nowiki>showing that the current timezone is set to ''UTC''#To change the system timezonerun <nowiki>user@server: run ''~# timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York''</nowiki>
*change ''America/New_York'' to a location relevant to your physical location using the "TZ database name" in this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones table]
#To check your new current timezonerun <nowiki>user@server: run ''~# date'' </nowiki>which should return something like '' <nowiki>Sun May 12 21:00:13 EDT 2019'' <nowiki>showing that the current timezone is now set to ''EDT''
