Iceland here, we don’t use DST at all.
GMT / UTC all year round, it’s nice.
There has been a lot of discussion in the past few years about adopting it though, but a lot of people don’t really see the point, me included.
During this time of year, October / November, the days start to get really short, so the sun doesn’t rise until 8 or 9, and it sets around 16 to 18.
Having some sort of DST here wouldn’t make much sense IMO since it would only be 3 months or so.
Then there’s the debate of do you want to use DST and have the sun rise sooner, but set sooner or vice versa with no DST.
Personally I like that the sun is still somewhat there when I leave work, since even with DST the sun would just barely be starting to rise when I would be commuting to work in the morning.
(Tangent: I don’t get why a lot of global schedules for some events list the start times of a live stream for a ton of different timezones, but never also include just GMT / UTC)
