I've had enough of Windows

I've had enough of Windows. I want a free OS that meets the following requirements (ordered by importance):

1. Doesn't have stupid problems like unpredictable/unexplicable errors/freezes while running/installing programs/games that should theoretically work fine on that system
2. Is good for gaming (by "gaming" I mean mostly emulation and free indie games)
3. Gives me a lot of personalization options
4. Doesn't rape my privacy
5. Is as fast as possible
6. Doesn't require continuous updates (or, at the very least, doesn't do them without my explicit permission)
7. Is as easy to use as possible

What would you say is the best for me?
