You need to reread my message. I never claimed windows does not support smb out of the box. I am claiming that windows 11 will not out of the box allow connections to a properly configured smb (v3, in my case) server because they disable guest login because “security” even though the guest account configured on the server can’t access anything outside of the configured folder.
Yes, windows is harder to use than linux, because their tools do not conform to the protocols they claim to support. Among other things that make it harder to use.
