Ohh, because of being Qt, I tend to prefer Qt, :) Dino is mentioned not to support video here: https://joinjabber.org/clients/gnulinux. As per omemo supporting clients: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMEMO#Client_support, well psi and psi+ are mentioned, and are the only 2 Qt ones, :) I can use Gajim, though it's python + GTK, and the "official" omemo (gajim-plugin-omemo) plugin is not in Artix/Arch official repos (though python-axolotl might do, I don't know). Sadly, I don't like depending on qt-webengine (blink based), so if using psi, most probably I'd go for the non-webengine version, though not sure what limitations it would bring...
That server is hosted in Germany, while joinjabber.org is hosted in both France and Germany. Then I wouldn't know... Perhaps the France hosted one... Can't tell... In the end all would be central, since not self-hosting... I can't tell, any preference?
XMPP is a federated network so even if you don't selfhost it isn't "centralized".
As for qt based clients: yeah there is a bit of a gap there. Kaidan.im looks promising but isn't there yet.
I think Gajim will work fine on your system though. At least on Manjaro (Arch based) it works great incl. OMEMO encryption.
