Some will decide that linux doesn't work and stick with Windows.
There is a simple and effective solution, but it is buried under a mass of internet
garbage, for example:
itsfoss.com: wrong-time-dual-boot/ mentions "Make Windows use UTC time for the
hardware
clock" but the fix is not provided.
I think a large part of the inertia on doing much about this is, is
that other than at boot time the hardware clock is generally ignored,
giving a prevailing attitude that the program is fixed elsewhere.
Often it is, the clock will simply be set sometime during boot. It
doesn't help you with log files, but the general public doesn't look at
them. Though sometimes clocks will be so far out of time that
automatic systems abort trying to set them. Windows has got better at
managing itself over a daylights savings change, but still stuffs it up
under some circumstances. For some people they won't care that the
computer's clock is mis-set, until things they want to do over the
internet foul up.
