            <li>Install MangoHud overlay package to your Linux distribution appropriately. More information can be found <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/MangoHud" target="_blank">here</a>.</li>
            <li>(Optional) install <code>Goverlay</code> application which allows you to configure MangoHud overlay with graphical UI.</li>
            <li>Edit <code>~/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf</code> with the following contents (read the in-code comments and update accordingly):

# Set this to interval of how frequently logs are collected (in milliseconds). '100' is what I use, 50 provides

        <p>When you start the game, overlay should be visible. Pressing <code>SHIFT+F2</code> starts the logging and either it ends due to <code>log_duration</code> value, or can be manually stopped by pressing <code>SHIFT+F2</code> again. Note that there is an indication in overlay, where it shows big red dot, indicating that recording in progress.</p>
        <p>After recording is done, you might end up with (or without) <code>*-summary.csv</code> file. This file can be deleted. Then there is <code>&lt;game&gt;-&lt;timestamp&gt;.csv</code> file - rename it to a label that you want to see in the website. Something like <code>Linux</code> or <code>something else</code> (with or without <code>.csv</code> extension) will work.</p>

  <div class="tab-pane fade" id="profile" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="profile-tab">
    <ol>
      <li>Install Afterburner. It will also install RivaTuner statistics server.</li>
      <li>Open Afterburner, go to Settings, then "Monitoring" tab.</li>
      <li>Change "Hardware polling period (in milliseconds)" to "100" (ensure ALL your benchmarks have the same interval value, even on Linux!)</li>
      <li>Modify the graphs:

      </li>
      <li>Check "Log history to file"</li>
      <li>Select location for such file (e.g. Desktop or Downloads works great).</li>
      <li>Check "Recreate existing log files"</li>
      <li>Uncheck "Log history to file" (yes, check to configure and then uncheck to disable <em>auto</em> recording when game starts)</li>
      <li>Set "Begin logging" and "End logging" shortcuts. Suggestion is SHIFT+F2 and SHIFT+F3 appropriately.</li>
      <li>Close Afterburner settings.</li>
      <li>Ensure that AfterBurner and RivaTuner is running (opened or in system tray).</li>
      <li>Start the game, overlay will show up in 5-30 seconds (keep clicking a mouse when the game is loading)</li>
      <li>When starting benchmark, press shortcut to record, then press shortcut to stop recording. Note that there is no indication that game is being recorded or not.</li>
    </ol>
    <p>You will end up with a file, named <code>*.hml</code>. Rename it to a label that you want to see in the website. Something like <code>Windows</code> or <code>something else</code> (with or without <code>.hml</code> extension) will work.</p>
