Umm... not true.
Linux deals quite well with spaces in file names. try:
touch "this is a file with spaces"
or
rm this\ is\ a\ file\ with\ spaces
Both work just fine and have for a long time. In fact, if anyone
remembers Maelstrom (a game noone seems to ship with Linux distributions
anymore), it uses directories and files with spaces in the names.
