this seems like a recipe for disaster

Since Linux 5.2, you can disable case sensitivity on the filesystem level on ext4 (called case folding).

I wonder how many things subtly break when you enable that option.

Is this a competition for worst idea to solve the problem? :)

Is there also an option to only have 8.3 filenames? Those long names are so tiresome.

This is default in SteamOS.

Honest question: is case sensitivity that important? Are there files named settings.ini and Settings.ini, for example, in the same folder that do different things?
