Strictly speaking, this is a limitation of the default filesystem, and not the core operating system. If you mount a NFS share that is case sensitive, it will still be case sensitive.

Technically not a limit there either since you in windows on NTFS can set a flag on a folder to make it case sensitive

fsutil.exe file queryCaseSensitiveInfo <path>

Can you apply this recursively to an entire drive? Say... C:\

[–] austinfloyd@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You could, but should pick a different drive than c (this will likely break a ton of stuff)
