It's not 'syncing' which implies something automatic and not needing interaction, but you can copy the metadata.opf file from the laptop and load it on the linux machine using calibredb set_metadata. You'll need to identify the id of the book you want to update but that's easily done. It's the number in brackets in the folder name or you can get it from a list with 'calibredb list'.
