The rolling release being unstable is wrong. You don’t get the “dev” version of update with bugs and instability, you get a proper update, just in small increments usually. A lot of people who actually run arch will tell you the same, sometimes it’s even more stable than the major release type systems.
GPS works anywhere on earth and doesn’t require a cell connection, it even works in airplane mode, so you really can’t get lost if you have the maps app (which you probably do)
