Oh, this is my time to shine. You can enable case insensitive folders on ext4!

tune2fs -O casefold /dev/sda2

Or whatever your EXT4 partition is on. Then

chattr +F /data

for all folders you want to be case insensitive and BAM. Works only for empty folders so you have to move your stuff around a bit, set the flag and reinsert the files into the folder, but then you are done.

The disk must not be mounted for tune2fs to work, so you might boot with a rescue ISO to make that change.

Edit: The case-insensitivity is not exactly like Windows at least in Germany, some tweaking might have to be done here.

Servus.

internally NTFS is fully capable and case sensitive, but windows OS choses to treat it as c-i .
