kde plasma. I dont mind military time since i'm accustomed to it from school. I;m more plagued by ocd from the fact that im getting this error that i cant fix.

reinstalled artix and installed ntp after installing kde plasma and im still getting the authenticating error 4 in the time and date GUI. Kinda weird because my first time using it it updated correctly and the short format was set appropriately.
