    Does OBS 29 support Intel ARC QSV x264 on Linux? (Flatpak version)

    I am using Fedora 37 KDE (Kernel 6.2, OBS 29.0.2 in flatpak) with an Intel Arc A380. I cannot find the Intel QSV x264 encoder in output settings (only software x264). Is it not available in Linux or am I missing some dependencies? I have attached my startup log file for reference.

    H.264 is deleted after formatting and installing drivers again.

    Before I formatted my computer, I had an "H.264" video card driver encoder. But now I only have x264 CPU encoder. It didn't fix even though I downloaded all the drivers. Windows 11 Pro 64Bit Latest version of OBS Studio.
