NTFS is case sensitive. The default is to turn it off. That is a historical accident from its DOS roots. It works decently until you somehow manage to get two files with different cases in there. Had to chase that a few times 'what do you mean Abc.txt has not been edited there I clearly see a abc.txt' Then findout you are editing one and looking at the other. So case insensitive makes natural sense for my brain. But it can be infuriating if the system has edge cases where it will do both. Chased one a few months ago in an npm repo. The thing had 2 files. On the dev box works fine (windows). Off the build machine (linux) not so much. One happened to pick the right file the other did not.
