You can make windows care about file case sensitivity. We enable it at work to ensure sanity with our local git repo's. https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/how-to-make-windows-folders-case-sensitive

That would be awful for CAD software since they often display part names, which are derived from the file name only in uppercase letters for readability. But Linux doesn't really have any industry standard CAD software anyway.

IIRC MySql inherits that behaviour when running on windows (or at least older versions do)

That was a real fun time when switching OS

Does this also work in Linux or just GNU/Linux?

Or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU+Linux
