ntpd-rs: it's about time! (opens in new tab)

Ubuntu is transitioning to the Rust-based ntpd-rs as its default time synchronization utility, replacing chrony, linuxptp, and gpsd to deliver a unified, memory-safe solution for NTP, NTS, and PTP. This move, in partnership with the Trifecta Tech Foundation, strengthens Ubuntu’s resilience goals, with full adoption planned across the Ubuntu 26.10 and 27.04 releases.
