      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.

      Case-insensitive filesystems are for maniacs. They are only causing trouble. Ever had two folders with the same name but different capitalization in windows? You see both, but whichever you click it will always open the same one, while the other can’t be accessed. Psychopath behavior.

        That’s because NTFS isn’t case-insensitive. If it was there’d be no two folders. Windows is a case-insensitive operating system running on a case-sensitive file system. It’s pretty clear Microsoft wanted case sensitivity and then realised how much legacy software that’d break.

      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
