OK, Linux is just the Kernel and doesn't keep time. The only thing it's
doing is relying on the clock of your computer to know the time.

Now, on a Linux system, you have ntp and it's pretty good to synchronize
your internal clock with available clocks on Internet. Of course, if you
are disconnected of Internet, well Linux, like Windows mind you, can't
do anything if the clock of your computer is buggy. It helps, but it
can't do miracle.

Except from LP/DG/NV/FR/whatever, I've never heard anyone having issues
with ntp. Every time I hear about people having issue with their clock,
they were using chrony. Seriously, I don't know why people are switching
from ntp to chrony as ntd works fine since years and chrony doesn't.
