Remember: GNU/Linux and other UNIX systems can make files that are case-sensitive, Windows can't make files that are case-sensitive (lemmy.world)

Oh it's even better, windows explorer can't really do case sensitive

But NTFS is a case sensitive file system

This occasionally manifests in mind boggling problems

You can enable case sensitivity in windows. It's only disabled by default.

I wouldn't do it though. It can only lead to problems, especially with poorly coded programs.

It's generally fine, the vast majority of applications are fine with it, it's mainly the legacy shit that falls over.

You can also enable it on a per directory basis, and I've yet to encounter a Dev tool that has issues with it. Same for the path limit, you can have long paths enabled too.
