Makes changing the case of a file/folder a lot easier though. Windows you have to rename it to something else then rename it again just to change case but Linux you can just…rename it. It’s a small thing but it’s something
It’s a big difference whether a folder is named PetersHits or PeterShits. So what should I expect when opening a folder called petershits? Pictures of Peter on the potty or some great songs?
Least favorite part of linux honestly
Hard disagree. I don’t understand why anyone would want case insensitive.
Am I the only one who doesn’t go around mindlessly capitalizing letters? Do people find it too difficult to capitalize things?
Do you want case insensitive passwords too?
If I type X I mean X and only X. Uppercase letters are different letters, just like X and Y are different letters.
Passwords ≠ Filesystems
It’s less about me randomly capitalizing letters and more about me not remembering whether or not what I’m looking for had capitals or not.
No, they’re different glyphs, they’d still be alphabetized the same way as X and x are the same letter
You okay?

is this bug really impossible to fix just because the file system is case insensitive?
You can turn it off, at least for ext4: https://lwn.net/Articles/784041/
