Yep, all Linux-compatible large-group video conferencing options known are
known to be bad in different ways.

Unfortunately, if you choose computer and aren't using Chrome,[1] you
have
to install a browser plugin that people I trust
say is not secure.
Secure or not, why do I have to download and extract an archive,
instead of using the browser's addon system? I don't know about price
or freedom (can't find the source code either) but as far as ease of
use is concerned, it lags way behind Hangouts.
[1]: Some people have said that it also works with Chromium installed
from
Ubuntu, but last time I tried it only pretends to
work[2] for Chromium
installed from Debian.
Yeah, no luck on opensuse either.

[2]: "Pretends to work" meaning it
looks like it joined but you don't
actually get any audio or video.
