> optional case-insensitivity to the F2FS, the Flash-friendly file system
Gosh, I've been lambasted for years for telling Linux folks that case-insensitive file systems are actually good for the average user. Maybe we'll actually get it now that Valve paved the way.
Why would the average gamer on a couch with a steam controller as sole input device (that's what SteamOS is about, isn't it?) care about case sensitivity of file names? It's not like they would actually type those.
Well, Valve is probably adding it to better support games that expect a case-insensitive filesystem. However, case-insensitive filesystems are beneficial for the average business software user. I'm just hoping that they accidentally make this work for ext4 also, and some distro maintainer sees the potential there.
