13 days agoWhy shouldn’t I be able to have the files mare.png (a photo of a horse) and MarE.png (a photo taken on a vacation in March, fifth in the series after MarA, MarB, MarC, and MarD)?
Or rainsley (a text file, no extension, with notes about a story I’m writing) and Rainsley (a directory with art of the same character the file is named after)?
Do I strictly need to be able to do these things? No, of course not. But the file system is more flexible and functional if I am able to.
I have a 2022 mid-range laptop which does work with Windows 11, but sounds like a jet engine when I try to run it.
I also have Arch installed, which runs silently 80% of the time, with moderate fan usage the other 20%.
As you may expect from this, 11 is typically sluggish, especially under load; whereas Arch is typically quick and responsive, with moments of lag noticeable but infrequent.
Under the circumstances, using 11 would be a terrible choice. There’s just no reason to subject my device to it.
