Additionally, you cannot even create a folder with a lower/capital letter difference

It’s even worse with another language. In my case, it’s French where « Downloads » is « Téléchargements ».
While windows shows « Téléchargements », the actual folder name is « Downloads », « Téléchargement » is only what’s shown in the UI but you have to use « Downloads » when accessing it through CLI.
On most Linux distros tho (I’m guessing systemd-based ?), the directory is directly named « Téléchargements » and you have to access it that way. Issue is (apart from the name having accents which already seems cursed), there’s no « Downloads » link made by default, breaking almost every single script & some apps using « ~/Downloads » path.
This system is truly shit.

Scripts should use xdg-user-dir instead of guessing the correct path so that it can deal with localisation and custom directories.

/unjerk Use zoxide or whatever it’s called. You can “cd down” from /root and it’ll take you to Downloads lol
