Help solving these two issues

[Puncake]

I have been having two issues with my computer lately.
My first issue is that my web browser is putting me a day ahead despite my calendar saying otherwise. I've tried tinkering the settings but to no avail.

The next problem is that sometimes after a soft reboot, whenever I open something, the screen becomes black and gray with glitched icons appearing right aside it. I'm unsure if this is a graphics card issue or an issue with the OS and would like to know.

Dual boot with M$?

Computer doesn’t boot, boots to a black screen, or stops at a message

While there are many potential reasons why your installation doesn’t boot to a desktop, the primary reason is that the graphics drivers haven’t loaded correctly so your login/display manager (DM) doesn’t start. This is why you get a “black screen” or stuck at an [ OK ] Started some service message. The normal reason for this is that you have the incorrect driver version for the kernel. This can happens when the mirror you are updating from is not fully synchronised, or times out, and so y…

Maybe try boot from last working snapshot.

My first issue is that my web browser is putting me a day ahead despite my calendar saying otherwise. I’ve tried tinkering the settings but to no avail.

This is actually a security feature of Firedragon. It is meant to avoid fingerprinting. I don’t remember the exact setting atm. But you can always switch to your favorite browser if you don’t like default one.

Actually it’s a Firefox-based feature.
Issue is similar to this one:

Is there a solution to Time in fire Dragon?

I guess it depends on setting "privacy.resistFingerprinting" (and maybe some others in that section). Of course, I base my assumptions only further to that forum post, the thread on Firedragon and a very quick Internet search. I have no idea what else could possibly be behind it... Edit: I can confirm: On my work (Windows) Firefox privacy.resistFingerprinting was True and Whatsapp Web showed my messages as UTC. Setting it off, the time was changed to my local time. On my Firedragon privacy.r…

Black screen after resuming suspend is a known issue with xorg 1.21.1.2 and NVidia 495.46 apparently. See here on Nvidia Forum
