Is it possible to disable ext4 case sensitivity?
With NTFS you can enable or disable case sensitivity. Is there a way to do it with ext4 in Linux?

I don't know too much about NTFS, but you can't do that with ext4, there is no known driver for that. Your question seems to be X-Y.

this would cause random breakages (as seen on macOS which stuck case sensitive unix conventions onto the case insensitive HFS) as some software will have aMakefilebut build a temporarymakefile, or so forth

There are patches currently under development to implement case insensitivity for ext4, but they are facing some headwind from Linus, so it isn't clear if/when they will land.

Nope. Under linux you can do that to fat,vfat,hpfs,ntfs and to iso9660 w/ rockridge extensions. All linux (unix) native file systems I know are case-sensitive.
