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?

      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!
