On virtually all file managers, including Nemo (official file manager of the Cinnamon desktop environment), viewing hidden files is a setting you can toggle on and off, and it is readily accessible because it is a commonly used option. You can typically do it with a keyboard shortcut, but it is also a control that is a toolbar icon or menu item. If you don't want to see hidden files, you just toggle it off.
In Nemo Ctrl+H should toggle the option. Other managers may use other keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Alt+.).

That said, I'm using 19.1 Cinnamon and Nemo is hosed, at this point it won't even open and I just installed Dolphin (KDE's file manager, available in repository). So if the issue is that the toggle doesn't work, it may be a general Nemo problem. – fixer1234 – 2019-04-25T06:45:58.460
