Windows, modern Linux, and (I am guessing here) probably MAC OSx.
(and a whole lot of OS that I will not bother to list here) will just auto-detect it when the Kindle is plugged in.
I expect Windows is the issue.

USB mass storage support is ubiquitous at this point. Meanwhile, pretty sure Windows didn't get native USB networking until Windows 8 or 10 and I wouldn't be surprised to find that Windows XP still has greater desktop market share than all desktop Linux distros combined.
