Just some more information if anyone else is curious.

I have this setup and it works well enough when you have one device, but when you have multiple, I get garbage on one device and decrypted messages on the other. So if I keep my computer on, but switch to my phone I have to explicitly tell the sender to send messages to my phone instance instead of my computer instance, otherwise I get garbage. This is obviously because of e2e. It doesn't seem like there's an easy way to enable OTR multi-end e2e encryption/decryption sofar as I know.

OMEMO[0] does this though, conversations supports it and Gajim has a plugin for it[1]. It's experimental and the plugin author warns to not use it for sensitive information FYI. Haven't tried it out as I'm using Pidgin atm, but plan to sometime soon.
