       I thought NTFS was a case-insensitive filesystem, that is to say "ReadMe.TXT" and "readme.txt" are treated the same on windows with NTFSturns out that's actually not true, NTFS fully supports case sensitivity in all the files, but the entire windows filesystem API treats everything as if it was lowercase.... so when using specifically windows with NTFS the filesystem acts like it doesn't understand case-sensitivity because the windows API calls suck lol

       @SocksPls@mastodon.xyz yes, if you do that to an NTFS drive via linux and then load the folder in windows, the OS will probably freak out, and all the file access calls will treat them as a singular file I think... probably the uppercase version would be left alone and lowercase one modified by file access calls only

       @froge@social.glitched.systems @SocksPls@mastodon.xyz NTFS is absolute dogshit lol. You can even make a custom windows iso with ext2/4 system drivers and install using that to have a better experience.
