The list is correct, however perhaps nobody knows an answer to your
problem?

If you don't mind debugging netrw, have a look at `:h netrw-debug`
or try to manually step through the commands using
`:debug :call netrw#BrowseX(...)`
(see for a brief help `:h :debug`)

My guess is, netrw calls xdg-open, which calls a script depending on
your desktop-environment something like `exo-open` or `gnome-open` and
some of those commands returns an error (or is not installed).

Best,
Christian
