True for almost any OS not Windows.

Spoiler:
Files ending in a ~ may also be hidden on some OS (usually means backup) Windows naming conventions started with DOS which was a copy of 1970s CP/M for the 8080 cpu. MacOS (after Version 9) is based on NextStep which was based on BSD which is an earlier "fork" of UNIX than Linux. Kobo, Kindle, Android are all using variations or parts of "Linux". Strictly Linux is only the Kernel and the rest is GNU.
