Which extension to use for text files? (Unix/Linux)

I noticed that I can read text files without an extension (.txt).txt just fine. How come? Should I save these files with or without the .txt.txt extension?

Also, what about ini.ini files? I usually use them like this: config.iniconfig.ini, should I remove the extension here to?

Any general resources on how Linux handles file extensions would be useful.
