Linux Kernel's Case Insensitive Hidden Feature - kyonides - 01-28-2023 First of all, I want to explain why it could slightly matter to you, especially as a developer not just for developing games but programming in general. So far all Linux systems tend to use a case sensitive filesystem, even if they're dozens of FS available out there, and whenever a Windows user or programmer creates a file, they might not care about a filename's case at all for Windows simply treats all strings the same under that specific situation. The link above will tell you about a couple of Linux tools and commands that will let you create a brand new filesystem that doesn't care about your typing style at all. Here you can find a special mention here. If you can't get a "supported" return message from it, you should stop right there before you wind up messing with your filesystem and have to fall back to your default Linux kernel configuration.
