You like Windows, you use Windows, and you, somewhat, think that Windows is better not just for you but for everyone else out there. So it is normal for you to look at a problem you don't understand and take it as a prove that your previous conclusion was right.

Think about it, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
There are too many different versions of Linux. A lot that aren't up to the task. And then there are the versions of Calibre in the repositories that are either old versions ar hey don't work properly. Windows 10 is a free upgrade to Windows 7 so you can upgrade Windows 7 and be able to run Calibre 4.x.

Linux is the smallest base for Calibre users with the most issues.
