Please, a fork of GoboLinux called gobolinux without the silly mixed-case directory names.

  It feels really petty and bike-shed-y to focus on this, but this was my first thought too when I saw the sample directory listings.
  • enriquto 6y ago
    I agree, but the whole gobolinux idea is the epitome of bike-shed-y! You just rename things and the behavior is 100% identical as before.

  I think I'd prefer that as well. However it is easy to configure a modern shell for case-insensitive completion.
  • enriquto 6y ago
    Completion is not an issue. The problem is that upper case just looks ugly. Like huge fluorescent decals on an otherwise streamlined matte black road bike. They put a lot of effort to create an über-elegant naming scheme, and then they spoil it for no reason.

  First thing I thought of too. Mixed cases when all the directory names are single words seems completely unecessary.

    End users are used to mixed-case system directory names. C:\Windows\System32 C:\Users\bob\Downloads

      You're using Windows examples. Directory names are case insensitive on Windows. On Linux system directories and command names have always been lowercase only for good reason. Why should I have to memorize the fact that the folder for the package sudo starts with a capital S but the command sudo doesn't. It's not like the capital S carries any information, and as others have pointed out, it's ugly.

  just use zsh, their autocomplete also ignore case '__')? no?
