Hello all,

A friend (who is by no means a Linux expert and lives at the other
end of the world) is using an Archlinux system that has its date
and time completely wrong - the year is 2019.

Is using timedatectl set-time a safe way to fix this ? In other
words, would a system time jump cause problems ?

In the hwclock manpage there is a warning that -s (which
also causes the system time to jump) should not be used
on a running system, this is why I ask.

The alternative would be to set the HW clock in the BIOS.
If I understand things correctly, the new system time
will then be set when booting.

TNX,
