Changing Time Zone

The time zone controls the clock shown on the computer. If it is set incorrectly, the time and date may be wrong, which can affect reminders, web browsing, emails, and meeting times. Changing it only takes a few steps once you are in the settings area.

1Open System Settings

Open the main settings area from the applications menu or system panel. Once the settings window is open, look for the section called Date & Time. If there are many settings categories listed, use the settings search box and type time to find it faster.

2Choose the correct time zone

On the Date & Time page, look for the current time zone. If it is wrong, select the option to change it. You may see a list of cities, regions, or a map.

Choose the city or region closest to where the computer will normally be used. For example, if the device is being used in Brisbane, choose the matching Australian time zone instead of another city that only looks similar.

  • Open the time zone selection option
  • Pick the correct city or region
  • Check that the displayed time now looks right

Authentication may be required: When Bazzite asks for permission to make the change, enter the password you used to log in. If you are using a non-administrator account, you will need to supply both the administrator user name and password.

Helpful tip: If the computer is connected to the internet, automatic date and time can help keep the clock accurate. The important part is still making sure the correct time zone is selected first.

3Confirm the clock is correct

After choosing the correct time zone, apply the change if Bazzite asks you to confirm it. Then check the clock in the corner of the desktop and make sure both the time and date now look correct.

If the clock still looks wrong, go back into the same settings page and check whether the selected location is correct. Once the right time zone is saved, Bazzite should continue using that setting automatically.
