From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.

camel for java. flat for c
Gotta live the Ocaml_case
If its my own personal code, snake case, if I am sharing with my frontend devs then camel case. If I am writing short scripts, then flat.
Kebab case with Pascal case in the usual places. I'd change to all kebab case but the muscle memory of typing Documents would nearly kill me.

Snake Case and Pascal Case is what I tend to default to
camelCase for non-source-code files. I find camelCase faster to "parse" for some reason (probably just because I've spent thousands of hours reading and writing camelCase code). For programming, I usually just use whatever each language's standard library uses, for consistency. I prefer camelCase though.
I use PascalCase for classes, camelCase for functions and variables, SCREAMINGCASE combined with snake_case for constants and for filenames/folders mostly snake_case with kebab-case if date or timestamp is involved.
depends on the color of my mood ring
Pascal or camel case for code, snake case for files and screaming snake case for globals
I use flat case most of the time, but I also try to stick to single word files so there is no case to get in the way.
I think for documents I might share like a PDF I'd use Pascal case.
In a classroom or teaching setting I will sometimes use Kebab case as I find it is the least confusing and makes it extra clear where the word division is. Similarly I avoid Dot notation since it's confusing for folks coming from a Windows world.
And I would avoid Screaming because that's just too loud anywhere.

I took a CS class that was java based, and now my go-to is Pascal for file names. Sometimes I do flat or screaming just 'cause.
Since Linux is caps sensitive, at least I always use lowercase.
I guess I use kebab case for any file used for IT projects
That's why camelcase starts with a lower letter. If you're using a good terminal+shell setup then it'll be irrelevant most of the time.
Pascal for server code running C# and Camel for client running TypeScript.

Pascal and Kebab case
I use camel case for methods and functions and snake case for variables. And pascal case for constants. Why? I don’t really know, it makes for a nice distinction I guess.
Pascal or Camel are best cases
