Not a native speaker here, what would be correct?

Assuming you're asking about American English. Here is the revised scenario.

"I use Linux"

"Does your medical clinic?"

In this example the response is in a new sentence. So one should also include the subject in the new sentence.

"Does your medical clinic also use Linux?"

This is common and considered correct in British English.

"Does your medical clinic use Linux?" or just "Does your medical clinic?"

"Do you do" is redundant. Of course you do do if you do. You just do.

That was not the question though.
