Pullrequest: Installation guide for ntpd-rs on a standard Debian system with time synchronization via systemd-timesyncd

[Nihon-Ryori]

The following ntpd-rs documentation contains instructions for migrating from chrony, ntpd, and NTPsec to ntpd-rs, but does not include installation instructions for a default Debian system, which, as is well known, uses systemd-timesync:

• https://docs.ntpd-rs.pendulum-project.org

Please add the following to the installation instructions on the page below:

• https://docs.ntpd-rs.pendulum-project.org/guide/installation/

Add the following passage to the installation instructions (I can't do this myself via a pull request because I have no idea how to do that on GitHub):

Installing ntpd-rs on an unmodified Debian 13 system that has previously used systemd-timesyncd to synchronize the time.

Installation
sudo apt install ntpd-rs

Now activate the service and enable it after a restart.
sudo systemctl enable --now ntpd-rs

Check if the service is running:
ntp-ctl status

I don't think we should be providing instructions on how to install things from your distributions repositories. We provide our own package which will usually be a lot more up to date, and if you use our documentation, you should probably use that package.

Agreed. Ntpd-rs is in the Debian repo.
https://packages.debian.org/sid/ntpd-rs

It's 1.72.

Pendulum project also provides a .Deb that can be dpkg -i over 1.72/default repo version, but use at your own risk.

Getting explicit instructions on how to stop, disable, mask, purge, etc other timekeeping programs is beyond the purview of ntpd-rs. They would have to do this for every flavor of Linux and even between versions (see Ubuntu switching to chrony last year )

I think that the end user should either be familiar enough or learn to Google resources available to switch over. That's how I learned Linux.
