CLI being faster can sometimes depend on typing speed and errors (lemmy.world)

I use CLI in Windows all day long, but I don't expect normies to have to learn it.

Create a symlink if that behaviour bothers you

ln -s ~/Downloads ~/downloads

Bonus for solving another common point of confusion with ~/Downloads:

ln -s ~/Downloads ~/Download
ln -s ~/Downloads ~/download

Won't this be annoying because you'll suddenly have 4 entries for the same thing when you ls?

symlinks are sexy

It doesn't. I don't use Linux anymore and was far from a 'noob'. I got over the issue after the first time and used a highly personally configured LF, aliases, and ZSH auto-suggest mostly anyway. -Appreciate the tips others might benefit from though. -Thanks!
