timedatectl without using named zone

  • 772

The typical way to set the timezone is to use timedatectl, e.g.:

sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York

So I can use a named zone, or UTC.

But how do I set the zone without a name - e.g. UTC-5 or UTC+10 or whatever?

    Yes, quite inconvenient indeed.
    This is kind of lame to suggest but you could list all available timezone names with timedatectl list-timezones and look for a region or city name that you know is located in the UTC timezone you are interested in. Sorry, I know that is not the answer you were looking for .....
