    Yeah, right? Are we pretending that having case sensitive file names isn’t a bad call, or…? There are literally no upsides to it. Is that the joke?

      I’m with you here, i find it infuriating and i never ever had the situation where this was beneficial.

      Like who tf actually creates a File.txt, file.txt AND FILE.TXT in one place and actually differentiates them with that.

        I mean, it’s less of an issue on Linux for both design and user profile reasons, but imagine a world where somebody can send all the normie Windows users a file called Chromesetup.exe to sit alongside ChromeSetup.exe. Your grandma would never stop calling you to ask why her computer stopped working, ever.

          Who sends setup binaries? I would tell my grandma to install it from the repository.
