Element vs Slack: é uma boa alternativa no Linux?

Element como alternativa Linux ao Slack

Atualizado em 20 de outubro de 2026

Nossa avaliação

Element can replace Slack for teams that need open‑source, end‑to‑end encrypted communication and are comfortable with Matrix federation. It supports real‑time messaging, threaded replies, file sharing, search, and integrations via bots. It also adds video calls and screen sharing. Users who rely on SSO/MFA or deep integration with Git, CI, or calendar services may find Element lacking. For small to medium teams prioritizing privacy and cross‑server collaboration, Element is a solid choice.

Abrindo seus arquivos do Slack

Slack exports chats as JSON or CSV and files are stored in the cloud. Element stores data in a Matrix server; it does not import Slack exports directly. To migrate files, download them from Slack and upload them into Element rooms manually or via the Element API. Exported chat logs can be imported by converting JSON to Matrix format, but this requires custom scripting.

Perguntas frequentes

Does Element support SSO/MFA like Slack?

Element itself does not provide SSO/MFA; it relies on the Matrix homeserver’s authentication. Many homeservers support OAuth2, SAML, or external auth, but you need to configure it manually.

Can I use Element on Windows?

Yes, Element is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. The Linux desktop client is a native Flatpak or AppImage package.

Is Element free to use?

Element is open source under AGPL-3.0-only or GPL-3.0-only and can be used for free. Hosting a Matrix server may incur costs if you choose a commercial provider.
