- I installed the deb file for Linux and it opens fine, but when I come to logging in, it logs me into the website and does not take me back to the actual app itself.

What is Slack?
Wikipedia describes Slack as '…a cloud-based set of proprietary team collaboration tools and services', a description that makes the platform sound painfully dull.
Here's the answer: Snag the official Slack Linux app, and get back to the compromise-free chatting experience you enjoy. JR Raphael/IDG A native Slack desktop app on Chrome OS — imagine that! Or by finding Slack application form the CentOS Application browser. Execute Slack from the command line mpik@diginetapp02 $ Slack; Execute Slack from Activities section of Gnome Desktop Environment Activities – Show Applications – Slack; Slack application dashboard when running for the first time. Slack for the first tme running.
It's anything but; Slack is vibrant, dynamic, and fast paced. Scores of well-known companies, teams, and creatives use it, as do many open source projects.
It's sort of like e-mail mashed with IRC and WhatsApp. It lets distributed teams of all shades keep in touch and on top of what each other is up to, using text, emoji, hashtags, files and more in real-time.
One of the most compelling features of Slack is that every message and bit of communication is archived for future searching.
Companies get to create their own ‘slack' space, and create separate ‘channels' for discussion and oversight of specific topics, and so on. Third party apps bring integration with external productivity services like Dropbox, Github, Twitter, Gmail and more.
Over 6 million people use Slack every day so making the app easily available on Ubuntu is a great move. Even if only a fraction of those 6 million people use Ubuntu, it'll be one less reason for them to dual-boot into their Windows or macOS partition.
'Slack is helping to transform the modern workplace, and we're thrilled to welcome them to the snaps ecosystem', said Jamie Bennett, VP of Engineering, Devices & IoT at Canonical.
'Today's announcement is yet another example of putting the Linux user first – Slack's developers will now be to push out the latest features straight to the user. By prioritising usability, and with the popularity of open source continuing to grow, the number of snaps is only set to rise in 2018.'

Slack isn't new to Ubuntu per se (it's been available for Linux for a while) but you've needed to head out and download a package from the web and then install it manually.
But now an official Slack Snap app is available on the Ubuntu Store, meaning it's deliciously simple to install the app on Ubuntu and (in theory) a slate of other Linux distributions too. Cleanmymac 3 3 9 0.
