OK, well to put things a different way: Flatpak is the closest thing to "Windows-like" distribution you're going to see for Linux. It's a format that Calibre can put on its website that will work for all Linux distributions. (Although there's already a perfectly good package on Flathub, so there's no need.) Right now, the only offering Calibre has under "Download" for Linux is a shell script, and most Linux users avoid those kinds of installers for very good security and system management reasons.
