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.

lf (as in list files) is a modern alternative to ranger with significant improvements in terms of speed and reliability. This guide is intended to help users who are familiar with ranger to switch to lf more comfortably.

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
