Linux file constraints are defined by its system settings and capabilities.

Options for reliable file systems exist, such as Reiser4, which typically comes with support, though verification is needed to confirm default inclusion.
I believe my Windows 10 version and older systems fit within 255 characters. I know the complaints even for small files, but back then storage was tiny and expensive. Now big drives cost a few dollars and hold huge amounts. It’s confusing how limits work these days.
It's important to consider many factors when evaluating a filesystem. Beyond basic support for unusual filenames, performance, reliability, and advanced capabilities are key priorities. While handling odd filenames is a minor detail, it shouldn't be the main focus.
OS X does not have the same restrictions as Windows in this regard.
The file name is 32000 characters long. In Linux, this equals 255 bytes. Using standard ASCII will match Windows exactly.
Are you saying that's unusual because I just created a folder named "1234567890" and went three levels inside it, hitting a path length restriction before reaching the end?
You'd need to check the constraints of HFS+. It's usually quite solid, though it might restrict certain paths as well.
