Step 1:

To help ensure a smooth gaming experience for StarCitizen, step one is to disable the swap file on your online gaming PC. You will need to do this every time you want to play StarCitizen. Our Network Storage has limits on how many reads and writes an account can use at any given time. If these limits are exceeded, we will shut down the gaming PC in order to prevent our network storage from being overloaded and affecting other users. By disabling the swap file, you prevent this from happening. Don’t worry; our Bare Metal Gaming PC has enough RAM, so swap is not needed. You can open the terminal by clicking the fourth icon on the bottom taskbar; it is the black one. Then, you need to type sudo swapoff -a and press Enter. It will prompt you for the Linux admin password, which can be found in the welcome letter.

Step 2:

Confirm that swap has been turned off by bringing up the Linux Mint Monitor. Now, confirm that swap has been turned off.

Step 3:

Now we will need to download the Lug Helper install file for StarCitizen. Please visit the following URL and click on the latest version on the right-hand side of the page: https://github.com/starcitizen-lug/lug-helper

Step 4:

Now let’s download the source.zip version of this installer helper script.

Step 5:

Now, let’s head over to the download folder to have it extracted. Please right-click and then click on ‘Show in Folder.

Step 6:

Let’s right-click on the source.zip file and extract it.

Step 6:

Double-click on the extracted folder, then right-click on an empty area and select ‘Open in Terminal.

Step 7:

Now that the terminal is open, type ls and press Enter to look for the lug-helper.sh file. To run it, simply type ./lug-helper.sh and then press Enter. The script will prompt you for the Linux admin password, which can be found in the welcome letter.

Step 8:

This will now launch the installation of Star Citizen. Let’s click on ‘Yes’ on this screen.

Step 9:

Please choose the Lutris option since it offers the best compatibility.

Step 10:

It is extremely important that you click no. As mentioned above, swap can cause random crashes with our current setup. Don’t worry, our Bare metal system has enough RAM and VRAM to run the game without any swap.

Step 11:

Please click ‘Yes’ in the next window.

Step 12:

This will now open another window for you, which is the Lutris installer. Please click on ‘Install’.

Step 13:

Please continue.

Step 14:

Now click on ‘Install’ to download the launcher. This may take a few minutes.

Step 15:

Now let’s click on the launch in order to bring up the StarCitizen custom launcher. This can take a few seconds, so don’t quit too early.

Step 16:

As mentioned above, this needs to be done in Gaming Mode. The StarCitizens custom launcher requires a GPU and will not launch in Console mode.

Hello fellow gamers! Did you know that you can also run an AI Language Model like ChatGPT on your gaming PC? In fact, you can fully install your own large language model in under 10 minutes! This video tutorial will walk you through the entire setup. Let’s start by searching for “oobabooga LLM” on Google and it will take you to this site. Please scroll down a bit and click “Download.”

Now go to your download folder, copy the oobabooga file to a better location such as the “Documents” folder. Then extract the files by right-clicking on the extracted folder, selecting “Extract,” and following the prompts. Next, open a terminal in the extracted directory by right-clicking again and selecting “Open Terminal Here.” Finally, type “ls” to list the files. https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui

Now let’s begin the setup process by executing the command “sudo ./start_linux.sh” After that completes loading, you will be presented with several options. Since your gaming PC has a high-end graphics card, choose option B. This step might take a few minutes; however, we can skip ahead to downloading and setting up the AI model:

You’ll need to download these files for this purpose: https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Yi-34B-Chat-GGUF
Copy the name to the clip board and past it on the “Download model or LoRA”

Next, click on the “Get File List” button in the terminal and wait for it to retrieve the list of files present in that directory. Now paste the file named yi-34b-chat.Q3_K_L.gguf
into the text box labeled GGUF and click “Download.”

This process might take some time, but once it’s finished, you can proceed to load the model by clicking on “Refresh” in the terminal window and selecting your newly downloaded AI model from the drop-down menu that appears.
Before loading the model, ensure that you increase the value of n-gpu-layers to 65 as only the AMD 7900xtx supports larger models like this one. If your GPU is an AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, you should use a smaller model such as https://huggingface.co/KoboldAI/LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2-GGUF
LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2.Q4_K_M.gguf instead. Once everything’s set up correctly, click “Load” and wait for the model to load into memory of the GPU on your gaming PC.

Finally, you can ask the AI a question by typing it into the terminal after pressing enter: “what places should I visit in Toronto?” The model will provide you with an answer based on its knowledge and learning. Enjoy exploring Toronto through the eyes of your newly installed large language model!
