Just so you know, on Linux, you can create a case-insensitive JFS partition on a loopback device and on macOS, you can create a case-insensitive APFS or HFS partition in a disk image file that can then be mounted (I think using `hdiutil` or the directions at [0]).

I have used the former in the rare occasion that I need to test a case-insensitive file system.
