Yes, its true on all OSes. The hardlink clones are used for the checkpointing system, not saving the book. Saving creates a temp file in the same folder as the original. Writes all the changes to it, and if everything works renames it to the original atomically, that way the editor can never corrupt the original in case of a crash or power failure during saving.
