EngineerKappa @engineerkappa.net · Sep 21 Trying to experiment with Game Maker on linux again Once again reminded how annoying it is that Windows and Linux handle case sensitivity in different ways ...and how sometimes Game Maker just doesn't care????

Gamemaker via Steam - you should be able to use the Windows version via proton or of course the Linux build which is still in beta.
IMO Case Sensitive file systems like is the default for ext4 and the other Linux filesystems is the way to go, where as the backwards compatibility holdover from DOS/FAT16/FAT32 that Windows kept with NTFS was a huge blunder. But yeah, it's a giant pain the the butt
Note that since most project editing is done *in* Game Maker, you shouldn't ever have to worry about capitalization, since it's all handled by game maker. in theory. ideally. most of the time.
