It isn't so much that Linux cares about them as much as it supports them. The command line tools in Windows are modeled after MS-DOS, and thus cannot distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters. You cannot have two files that have the same name, but different capitalizations for this reason in Windows.

Linux, however, recognizes the differences between upper- and lowercase letters. There are times when you might want to have different capitalizations but otherwise identical filenames. So file.txt, File.txt, and FILE.TXT are all considered separate file names.

What is Stereotyping in Health and social care?

Stereotyping in health and social care refers to making assumptions about individuals based on their characteristics such as race, gender, or age, rather than treating them as unique individuals. This can lead to discrimination, stigma, and poor quality of care.
