I live in the UK and I really can't say that this default bothers me. English is spoken all over the place and so there's clearly no particularly sensible default; we default to the US as it's (like it or not) the most widely spoken variant, and the eastern seaboard is where its capital resides. I don't really want to get into choosing between the more than a dozen variants of English that have distinct locales in our system just in order to get the timezone default right (if the UK, why not Australia, or Hong Kong, etc.).
It is, after all, only a default, and you can change it. -- installer timezone chooser default to Eastern US for English language https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434619 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
