Based on the evaluation we did at my last job, I'd remove Mattermost from the shortlist and replace it with Rocket.Chat. Open Core sucks and functionality is about the same between the two.
Also, there's a native desktop client on the way for Rocket.Chat, called Ruqola. Qt based, so all the platforms.

1. No experience with the Linux client but I see another reply answering your question.
2. We have used cloud-based from the beginning and never had issues. Zulip's uptime is fantastic. There may have been one or two minor issues during the five year time period that we've used them.
3. We tried out the Jitsi integration when it was first introduced and it works fine but I don't think anyone at our company uses it since we have Google Apps for Business so everyone just uses Hangouts if we need video / voice.

FYI, you can now configure Google Hangouts as what the "video chat" button does in "Organization settings".

Oh, that’s awesome! I need to pay more attention to your Changelog.
Our company wants to migrate from Skype for Business to either Zulip, Mattermost or Hipchat. As todays news hit, we removed Hipchat from out list.
Our questions are: 1. Does the Zulip desktop app for Linux store messages for offline reading? 2. Do you use it on-prem or cloud based? (if on-prem did you by the enterprise support? 3. Do you have any video or screen sharing software in use with Zulip? We are looking into the recommended on-prem Jitsi. Also is doesn't offer much group/channel management beyond moderators and guests.
