This is a feature, not a bug

    Right? I rather not have a computer automatically autocorrect.

    Also, I constantly name files in the same directory the same thing except for case. In my ~/tmp directory I have unrelated foo.c (C source) and foo.C (C++ source).

    Why not .cpp for C++? I don’t use C++, but I thought that was the standard.

    .C came first. I don't usually use it though; I usually use .cc or .cxx, but if I'm making some tiny test source, I often use .C. I'm strongly opposed to the .cpp extension because calling C++ "CPP" leads to confusion with the preexisting (before C++) use of the initialism to refer to the C preprocessor. There's a reason why CPPFLAGS refers to preprocessor flags and CXXFLAGS refers to C++ flags.

    All folders and files should be in lower case.

    Why did Linux systems go for capitals in the home folder? It's actually kind of annoying and takes extra key presses.

    ....A while later "XDG Base Directory Specification"

    Why does Linux do anything it does? Because a bunch of shortsighted nerds think it's a good idea. For example, try to install software on another disk.

    Any help with that?

    As someone said you solution is to symlink or setup LVM volume groups for different mount points. Essentially, it's all or nothing. You can't just put a single program on a different disk without then taking all those files and manually symlinking them to the right place. It's honestly one of the biggest Linux oversights.

    XDG specifies the capital names, but to be nitpickingly technically precise, linux systems don't do this. It mostly is done by the distribution maintainers, and the XDG specs. A base system does not usually have a notion of anything beyond your $HOME.

    Try adding a user: sudo adduser basicuser. If you ls -al ~basicuser you will see it's almost empty, just the .bashrc (or in my fedora, there's some .mozilla crap in /etc/skel that also gets bootstrapped).
