What's the *technical* issue of doing that? And that cannot be more challenging than testing your kernel changes, right?

I just googled it and confirmed I'm a Gen Y ;-) and I'm not using vscode or any IDE, a lot of Gen Y, Z and Alpha developers I know either use Linux on their desktop/laptop or they don't use IDEs. May my experience suffice to say it's not typical? Or is it the case where I thought me and my friends are the whole world? ;-) > Instead of Visual Studio Code it can be possible to use JetBrains, Eclipse > and so on any other modern IDE.

They are not "case-insensitive" OSes, they support case-sensitive filesystems, and they support them for a reason, so just use them. With your changes, it may be OK at clone time, but as soon as you do some serious development involving `git bisect`, you might be very frustated that your setup doesn't work. So your solution is incompleted (not handling the git history), and your goal is a bit personalized: it's only useful to people who want to read/edit Linux code without running it and don't want to use a case-sensitive filesystem, and that's not very persuasive. I don't think we can accept the solution or commit to that goal. Regards, Boqun
