annoyed windows refuses to acknowledge that i changed a file name if it's the same as the previous name except for capitalization

Fun fact, windows files are by default case insensitive, but you can do this:

The Windows file system supports setting case sensitivity with attribute flags per directory. While the standard behavior is to be case-insensitive, you can assign an attribute flag to make a directory case sensitive, so that it will recognize Linux files and folders that may differ only by case.

Tbh I feel like that's the entire windows ethos

They wanted to make things easier for the computer illiterate, which makes it an order of magnitude harder for those of us who need to know what we're doing
