I see Ground News recommended all the time but for some reason i cannot trust it, idk why

I would recommend to try linux first by dualbooting. Try Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux MINT and KDE Neon (i really like it because it has a Windowsy feel). You can see how those distros look here: https://distrosea.com/

I personally dont like the stock ubuntu, was really suprised by fedora.

Star Citizen works great on linux with Lutris. https://lutris.net/games/star-citizen/
