Why PascalCase?

[1vanK]

In Linux it is common practice to use the snake_case, since FS is case sensitive. Why are you using PascalCase?

GoboLinux uses PascalCase (or capitalization) for both the root directory structure and package names to enhance readability and present a visually cleaner, more logical system.

While standard Linux follows the FHS with lowercase, often cryptic abbreviations (like /usr, /var, /etc), GoboLinux uses full, human-readable words:

• /Programs
• /System
• /Users
• /Mount

Inside /Programs, directories usually follow the "Brand Name" of the software (e.g., /Programs/Firefox or /Programs/Xorg-Server).

This design choice was historically inspired by systems like BeOS (and partly macOS), prioritizing a clean structure over traditional Unix legacy conventions. While it is untypical for Linux, modern shell tab-completion usually makes the case-sensitivity issue negligible in daily use.
