No. True tech hipsters are too cool for gui or an os. Come back when you're running nothing but a kernel.

sure microsoft does some weird stuff, but it's stuff that you wouldn't notice having an impact on your research hardcore gaming experience.
your data that windows may or may not collect is with loving millions of other pieces of data, the chances of them picking your data is like one in a loving million. i should also include that the data they take is completely anonymous and does not reveal personal information about you or what you are looking up online.
if you really don't want your data to be seen, you must be doing some weird stuff online and i don't want any part of that.
mcjob sums up my opinion about this whole "windows is bad because muh data and adwares!!";

Read the articles I sent to McJob. Again: the "if you have nothing to hide, why be worried?" and "it's one in a million you get picked" arguments are awful because it is still spying, no matter if you are the victim of it or not.

I honestly wonder what you think you're getting out of this. What's so amazing about Arch, anyways?
For Gentoo, you need to remember that you are building the whole operating system and that will take a while. Its package manager isn't as popular, so don't expect most of the packages on Ubuntu to be on Gentoo.

GIMP is alright for general editing but if you need to actually like, draw a diagram it's really not that great because of its lack of a shape drawing tool. There are solutions but they're not as nice as Paint.NET is.

You can install a program called "Pinta" and that is pretty much Paint.NET.
