The other half of the answer is: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/timedated/ https://github.com/mlichvar/timedatex https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1394 https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/122400/ Plasma now uses systemd-timedated interfaces to handle time setting. Thus, in short: * If you do not have any NTP implementation (neither chrony nor the old ntpd) installed, systemd-timedated with its builtin SNTP implementation is used. * If you have chrony or ntp (the old ntpd) installed, those packages have a Recommends: timedatex. The timedatex daemon is a drop-in replacement for systemd-timedated that takes over the interfaces and implements them using chrony or ntpd. If the timedated interfaces are not usable at all (i.e., if neither systemd- timedated nor timedatex is available), Plasma falls back to the old code using a one-time ntpdate call (which only syncs the time once and does not keep it in sync), but that should never happen in Fedora.
