Element Desktop

Element Desktop is an open-source communication application for Linux. It combines secure messaging with productivity-focused team collaboration. The application is suited to group chats and communication among teams working remotely.

It provides advanced online communication tools for workplace and group use. Messages use end-to-end encryption to support safer corporate communication, including when colleagues work remotely. In addition to messaging, Element Desktop supports video conferencing, file sharing, and voice calls.

These functions place Element Desktop in the Communication category of a Linux software catalog. Its focus is on bringing group conversations, calls, meetings, and shared files into a single communication application. The open-source license makes its licensing model clear to Linux users evaluating the software.

MirrorNest mirrors the official Element Desktop build directly on its own storage. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before it is published in the catalog. This distribution approach gives users a catalog copy of the official build while retaining the platform and licensing information associated with the software.
