hint at desktop client

[jnweiger]

Some Linux users are desperately seeking a way to sync and come here, instead to https://owncloud.com/desktop-app

Overview

This is a small, well-intentioned documentation change to modules/classic_ui/pages/files/access_webdav.adoc. It amends the intro sentence of the "Accessing Files Using Linux" section so that, before listing WebDAV-based file-manager methods, it reminds Linux users that a desktop client also exists. The motivation (per the PR description) is that Linux users looking to sync land on this WebDAV page rather than the desktop app, so a pointer toward the sync client is genuinely useful.

The diff is a single-line replacement (+1/-1), AsciiDoc syntax is untouched, and the change builds cleanly with no new attributes, xrefs, or images. No broken links introduced.

Code quality / style

• AsciiDoc syntax: clean. The edit only touches prose within a paragraph; the line continues onto the following methods. line, which is preserved, so paragraph flow is intact.
• The sentence reads slightly awkwardly: "you can access files in the Linux operating systems". The original was "in Linux operating systems" (no article). Adding "the" before "Linux operating systems" is grammatically off — recommend keeping it as "in Linux operating systems" or rephrasing to "on Linux".

Specific suggestions

1. Link the mention of the desktop client. The PR's stated goal is to guide users to the desktop app, but the new text says "a desktop client" as plain prose with no link. This same page already documents the client higher up:

   • Section "ownCloud Desktop and Mobile Clients" (near the top of this file) links to https://owncloud.com/desktop-app/[ownCloud Desktop Client].
     Consider making the hint actionable, e.g.:

   In addition to using the xref:#owncloud-desktop-and-mobile-clients[ownCloud Desktop Client], you can access files in Linux operating systems using the following methods.

   or, if an in-page anchor isn't desired, reuse the existing external link:

   In addition to using the https://owncloud.com/desktop-app/[ownCloud Desktop Client], you can access files in Linux operating systems using the following methods.

   As written, a user who skipped the top of the page still has no clickable path to the sync client — which is precisely the audience the PR targets.

2. Grammar: drop the article — "you can access files in Linux operating systems" (matching the original) reads better than "in the Linux operating systems".

3. Capitalization/consistency: the rest of the file uses "ownCloud Desktop Client" (capitalized, branded). The lowercase generic "a desktop client" is fine for a hint, but linking it (suggestion 1) would also align terminology.

Potential issues / risks

• Low risk overall — prose-only change, no structural/link/build impact.
• The only real shortcoming is that the change describes a desktop client without pointing to one, so it only partially achieves the PR's goal. Adding a link (suggestion 1) would close that gap and is the single change I'd recommend before merge.
• No broken xrefs, no missing attribute references, no image changes.
