How to Change NTP Server?

How do I change the NTP time server in Bazzite (using KDE as the desktop)? When I installed Bazzite, I was given the option to set the NTP server, but just let it default to whatever it wanted (figuring I could change it later). I can’t find a setting anywhere. I tried the clock and tried the KDE Settings page. Searching the internet tells me to change /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf. But, there’s no such file. Since NTP is turned on and I let it use its defaults, I assume there’s got to be a similar file somewhere (so I shouldn’t just create a new one). But, I can’t find it.

/etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf is for Ubuntu based systems as they are using systemd-timesyncd as the NTP synchronization daemon.

RHEL/Fedora based systems like Bazzite are using chronyd instead so check it’s configuration file at /etc/chrony.conf.

Thank you. That got it. The default

pool 2.fedora.pool.ntp.org iburst

was there. I’m pretty sure I can replace that with my pfsense NTP server with:

server pfsense.localdomain iburst

But, I’ll have to test that.

I’m marking this solved. Thanks again.
