Dino has OMEMO included by default.  There may be others that have it included by default too - I don't know all desktop XMPP clients off-hand.

For many clients (like Gajim), whether OMEMO is included is generally up to the distribution's packager.  In Debian, for example, Gajim's OMEMO support is indeed in a separate package, as you alluded to.

You can run Conversations on Replicant, which is a fully free version of Android.  But I do agree that it's better to use a non-phone when possible for better security.
