Disclaimer: I love Linux. I also like Windows (it's extremely solid). RE path limitations. I actively -- and have for many years -- use paths much longer that 25x characters. Including in Windows Explorer. I can't recall the last time I had a issue, though IIRC there is some sort of operation (that I guess I never use?) via Explorer where one can run into issues. The main issue, and it exists on Linux as well is this in code: char path[MAX_PATH]; // or equiv In Linux this generally gives you a 4k buffer so you're MUCH less likely to hit the issue of course.
