Here is the information about my system and computer (copied from KDE info center):
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20210128
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.10.9-1-default
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i5-8265U CPU @ 1.60GHz
Memory: 7.6 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: Mesa DRI Intel® UHD Graphics 620
Also my computer (laptop) has another graphics card (Nvidia MX250). In Windows QSV could be found but in Linux couldn't. In "Simple" mode only x264 option could be used (whether using the Nvidia card or not).

In "Advanced" another option "FFMPEG VAAPI" could be chosen but the quality of output video is somehow terrible (especially when there's big move in the scene).

Any solution? x264 recording sometimes makes computer slower, so...

FFMPEG VAAPI is the QSV equivalent on Linux. If you find its quality lacking it is due to its configuration or the hardware encoder is no very good. P.S. constraint baseline is a horrible profile.

Ah, so which configuration could be better? And if I increase the bitrate could the quality become better?

Mainline profile should be a good start. Yes, increasing the bitrate improves the quality.
