Linux DUPs can be executed even if they are renamed, but some functionality is lost. Renamed Linux DUPs with extensions that are in the Linux MIME (Multimedia Internet Message Extensions) database could fail to execute from various X‑Windows desktops, for example GNOME. In this case the desktop issues a file open error message indicating that the DUP cannot be opened. This occurs if a DUP with an uppercase .BIN extension is renamed to a lowercase .bin extension. The .bin extension has an entry in the Linux MIME database which leads to the file open error.
