    When you say "canse insensitive file*, do you mean lowercase files? Or is there an option?

    Idk why we talking about mouses. When I’m on Linux, most of the time it’s through ssh.

      either or, whatever the fuck you want really.

      You can just not use capital letters if you feel like it. Works pretty well. Or just use a case insensitive shell handler for pretending it’s not actually cased at all.

      Hell im pretty sure you could just render all of the text in a certain case and call it a day lol.

        I can make MY files all lowercase, but 99.999% of files on my computer are not created by me. And some of them have capital letters.

            They are not created by people. They are created by programs.

              what kind of programs are you using that use case in filenames. Smells like a skill issue to me.

                Iirc Ubuntu names their home files “Downloads”, “Documents”, and so on. Same with windows (there are a lot of uppercase letters in windows files). I’ve had issues with Cargo.toml before. And not just cargo, many config files use case to signal priority (so if both Makefile and makefile exist, Makefile will be used (or other way around)). Downloaded files are a gamble. Files created by user input (so for example if I wanted my user to be “Calcopiritus”, my home would be “/home/Calcopiritus”.

                Uppercase letters might not be common in filenames, but they are not nonexistent.

                  by default sure, aren’t these just like, XDG specifications or something? Surely you can just change them.

                  Case in config files is certainly interesting, not sure how i feel about that as a standard.

                  Downloaded files are a gamble, but they’re always a gamble, they might not even be in english lol
