Slack vs Discord: ¿es una buena alternativa en Linux?

Slack como alternativa Linux a Discord

Actualizado el 20 de octubre de 2026

Nuestra opinión

Slack is not a good replacement for Discord. While it handles text chat and file sharing well, it lacks the low-latency voice and video calls that define Discord for gamers and communities. Slack is designed for business workflows, not real-time social interaction. If your primary need is text-based team coordination, Slack works. However, if you rely on voice channels, screen sharing for gaming, or community moderation tools, you will find Slack lacking. It is a different tool for a different purpose, not a direct swap.

Slack is proprietary and business-oriented, whereas Discord is community-focused
Missing features like screen sharing optimized for gaming or streaming

Slack does not support importing or exporting Discord data. There is no built-in tool to transfer chat history, media, or user lists from Discord to Slack. You would need to manually export Discord data via its built-in export feature (if available to your account) and then manually upload files to Slack, which is not a practical migration path for most users.

Preguntas frecuentes

Can I use Slack for voice calls like Discord?

Slack supports voice and video calls, but they are designed for business meetings, not low-latency gaming or casual social voice channels. The experience is not comparable to Discord for those use cases.

Is Slack free?

Slack offers a free tier with limited history and features. Paid plans are required for advanced features, unlimited message history, and larger file uploads. Discord is free for most users with a paid Nitro option.

Will my Discord friends be on Slack?

No. Slack and Discord are separate ecosystems. Your Discord friends are not automatically on Slack, and there is no cross-platform integration to sync users or chats between the two services.
