Description:
nemo needs gvfs-smb in order to open samba network shares. gvfs seems to be a hard dependency, but it would probably help to add the different backends as optional deps.


Additional info:
* package version:
- nemo 5.6.3-1
- gvfs 1.50.3-1
- gvfs-smb 1.50.3-1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open nemo
2. go to the "Network" thing in the sidebar
3. try to open a discovered SMB share (in this case from a home NAS)

Solution extrapolated from the following linux mint forum post: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=173992

No, this is not the way it works. gvfs-smb is already an optdep for gvfs. It's the same for other file-managers like nautilus, thunar, pcmanfm, etc.
