This bothers me too. Is there some history to using capital letters for home folder names? It seems really out of place in case-sensitive file systems.
- asimpletune 6y agoMy guess is the directory names are meant to resemble what most people consider to be proper nouns. Like, capitalizing proper nouns is the convention, so not so much a computer thing, but a human thing. (Idk about all human languages but I think you get what I mean)
