The date command shows the BIOS time, no? In v10.3 (which is installed in
another drive on the same system) date shows the correct local time. In
v11.1, it shows two hours back, i.e. GMT.

The date command, by default, shows local time. The -u option is needed
for seeing utc time. I think it can also be used to set utc time. But
this can be easily done wrong. I would suggest you:

1) boot into the BIOS and set the time to utc

2) boot into linux and see what you get.

The -u option to date should help getting the utc. But I would surely
set it in the bios myself first. Then see what happens.

I do not run Windows. I never have.

Lucky you.
