Fun fact:
Linux doesn't give a fuck about filename.

If you name your PNG image without extension it still will be detected as image and opened in default program (Dolphin at least). This is also why you can create scripts without extension, only with shebang and they will be correctly coloured in text editors (most of them at least).
Some of the programs in /bin are Perl scripts and have no extension.
>>
>>59939719
because it doesn't work
>>
>>59943661
No, the reason you can write scripts without extension is because of the header line specifying what to have run it.

If you don't have
#!/usr/bin/bash
or
#!/usr/bin/perl
or whatever, then it won't know what to do with it.

If you try to execute a script without a shebang it will interpret it as whatever the default shell is on the system. So you can omit the shebang and it will probably interpret it as sh
>>
>>59945579
Scratch that, it's runs it as whatever shell you're currently running.
