From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why would the file manager need to handle smb (mounting?) I always setup smb shares through fstab and have them automatically mounted, lf shows the files just fine.
If you want a way to mount shares through your file manager, Im sure there is a way to add this to lfs config, but I don't really understand why.
Oh in that case you may want to take a look at rclone. You can use that to configure profiles for separate shares it makes mounting and managing them very easy.
I mean, all that's doing is passing that URI to GVFS. You can do the same with any tool. (Or add hooks to any existing tool with gio calls if they support subshell execution) https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/File_manager_functionality#Windows_access
