Linux dont bother with extensions like Windows do. If you want to check what a file is you can use the "file" command, "file Telegram"

But go to the directory and try to run ./Telegram

The same warning for windows about being careful about downloading random binaries from the internet also applies for Linux. Be very careful unless you know and trust the person distributing the files (and even then you should probably still be a bit cautious).

Unfortunately there are malicious people out there. Maybe not as many as in the windows world but they do still exist. With the likes of apt the standard repositories sign their packages with a key which is built into the OS, so if you install things that way there's at least a strong guarantee that what your installing is what they published (and they're hopefully trustworthy)

It's probably safer to pull the source from https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop and build that on your Raspberry.
