Any guide on how to backup encrypted chats (OMEMO) and keys on android (Conversations) and how to use multiple devices (my phone and linux pc).

Multiple device use needs no special setup, but given the inherent forward security of OMEMO, new devices will not have access to old messages.

You can make backups of your decrypted chats through the settings menu in Conversations.

Making a backup of the keys is unnecessary as they should be treated as device specific and not transferred between devices.
