As a full time desktop Linux user since 1999 (the actual year of the Linux desktop, I swear) I wish all you Windows folks the best of luck on the next clean install ๐Ÿ‘

...and Happy 30th Birthday "New Technology" File System!

Unbelievably, Windows still has a ridiculously short filepath length limit.

Are you writing parahraphs for folder/file names? That's one "issue" I never had problem with.

Maybe enterprises need a solution for it but that's a very different use case from most end users.

Improvements are always welcome but saying it's "ridiculously short" makes the problem sound worse than it is.

I think they mean the full path length. As in you can't nest folders too deep or the total path length hits a limit. Not individual folder name limits.
