A leading dot makes a file hidden by convention in Linux. Command line tools are harder to use when you have spaces in names (harder, not impossible).More characters that are discouraged are: space and dot.Windows does not allow the following characters: :"/\|?* ( source).When I tried to create such a file in Windows I got a file with just the name, no dot, no extension. However, in Windows a dot separates the file name and extension, and a file name ending with a dot but no extension is not allowed.

However, Nautilus ignores the magic numbers if the dot and three characters extension is available to identify the file type.

Ubuntu generally does not use the dot and three characters (such as. I guess you really can teach an old dog new tricks.As far as I know there are no issues with naming folders and files with a single or multiple dots.
