Assuming you know how to put Ubuntu on a Pi. Then you need to build Calibre.

Personally I lost interest in Ubuntu nearly 10 years ago.

For a Raspberry Pi the Arch linux may be best.
For x86-32 or x86-64, Linux Mint.
There is or was difficulty on installing on low end Win10 Atom tablets, because while 64 bit linux runs fine, the EFI is 32 bit. So you either use Debian, or copy the 32 bit EFI files into the ISO for Mint 64 bit. This involves unpacking the ISO, or mounting a copy as RW and adding the files, then repackaging the ISO.

The best choices of distro for the Pi (ARM) are not going to be the same as for an x86 platform. AFAIK, Kovid's site only offers the x86 versions for Linux, MacOS and Windows.
