I don't really watch Star Wars. I'm a more of a Trekkie gal.

See, you can separate files both ways as long as it's logical

Specifying paths with - would be its own special brand of hell.
Both works fine in Windows tho?
Used to not
In Linux it is still not.
Times change. You used to not be able to run Linux in Windows, but you can do that too.
Yeah, and I've tried that. It turns out it works even better if you throw away the Windows part.

The number of times I had to ask "how can I tell where the file 'physically'" (I know) "lives" on the network when I took up work at a Windows shop, it was just baffling. And Win people couldn't understand what I was asking.
There's a location for this effing thing. I want to know where it is, really! How do I get that info?!
It's not Win people. It is dumb people.
Any Infrastructure IT guy can tell you where specific files are stored, it is their job. Whether they mainly use Windows, Mac or Linux doesn't matter.
Physically, it's probably on your hdd or ssd. Or possibly just in ram or a data center somewhere π
If you know what a nordic keyboard layout looks like, you'd probably prefer backslash. Since I moved to Linux a year ago I've been struggling to find the easiest way to forward slash. Shift + 7? Or numpad / with my right pinky?
For me it's even worse. Forward slash is also Shift + 7 and backslash is AltGr + Γ?? I hate that computing is only optimized for US american layouts. Going by my keyboard, the filepath separator should probably be an ΓΆ.

Had a similar struggle with the German layout, but in the meantime I have moved to the "EURKey" layout. It is built in to many distros and available for Windows and Mac. It mimics a US layout while still having all the Àüâà (and much more) I could ever need. Though I will say it's only really worth it if you're in IT or similar where you frequently need certain symbols.
EURKey
Pressing Γ³ is far less intuitive than Β΄ + o... hard pass.
