To list all available time zones, you can either list the files in the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory or use the timedatectl command.
timedatectl list-timezones
...
America/Tijuana
America/Toronto
America/Tortola
America/Vancouver
America/Whitehorse
America/Winnipeg
...
Once you identify which time zone is accurate to your location, run the following command as sudo user:
sudo timedatectl set-timezone your_time_zone
For example, to change the system’s timezone to America/Toronto:
sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/Toronto
Run the timedatectl command to verify the changes:
timedatectl
