I have an empty directory called "foo". I try to create a new directory called "Foo". But I cannot create it:
***@###:~/test$ mkdir foo
***@###:~/test$ ls
foo
***@###:~/test$ mkdir Foo
mkdir: Foo: File exists
***@###:~/test$ ls
foo
The same behaviour can be seen for files as well.
On Linux, 2 files/folders with a difference in case can coexist in the same directory.
Why did MacOS chose to not allow case differentiation for files and directories?
