You can do everything the common pattern way with timesyncd as well. 1) Install the package (it's probably part of the systemd package you already have) 2) Modify the configuration file if needed (/etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf) 3) Enable the service (`systemctl enable systemd-timesyncd`; the same as any other service) Sure, you can use timedatectl to enable it (which makes a D-Bus call to timedated, which then makes the same call that `systemctl enable --now` does). But you don't have to. It's a weird feature of timedated/timedatectl because they try to be the Swiss-army-knife of messing with time settings on the box.
