Jump is compatible with the remote desktop feature available on most Linux systems, however Jump's automatic configuration via Jump Desktop Connect is currently not supported on Linux (you need a PC or Mac to use automatic configuration).
You'll need to manually configure Jump with your Linux computer's host address. You can enter the computer's IP address by tapping the plus button ("+") on the top right hand corner of Jump's main screen. Also, be sure to tap the "VNC" button when creating the connection for your Linux computer.
Further more, Jump also has SSH encryption and port forwarding built-in which is also compatible with most Linux SSH servers. We recommend using this feature for better privacy.

This document implies there's a "+" button -- there is no such button on Jump Desktop for Windows at least. Is this accurate only for the iOS/Android app?
I'm not seeing a plus button for the windows Jump Desktop. How do you add a VNC connection on a Windows machine?
Emailed there help desk asking:
I'm using windows and trying to connect to a linux vnc connection. How do I do so? (Note: VNC is working perfectly in TigerVNC so the server side is setup)

Hi Drake,
I'm sorry Jump Desktop for Windows currently does not support manual VNC connections. We'll add this in a future update.
Thanks
A different answer: I just installed JumpDesktop for Windows on a Linux box, using the official repos for wine, Wine-mono and wine-gecko in Manjaro 20. It's working, I connected to a fluid desktop instance.
Didn't work. "Connection Refused"
