You don't have to do in BIOS itself. See my earlier message example:

date --utc -s "hour:minute:seconds"
hwclock --utc --systohc

So for me here in Seattle area, it is 12:56:22 PDT and 19:56:33 UTC.

I could run:

date --utc -s "19:56:33"  # or date -s 12:56:22
hwclock --utc --systohc

It is normal practice for Unix systems to have their hardware clock in
UTC.

Then set up your /etc/localtime for example:

cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Phoenix /etc/localtime

or

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Phoenix /etc/localtime

Have fun!
