The only Linux distribution that I have found to keep an up to date non-beta calibre in their repository is Arch and it's derivatives.

Of the 7 Linux distributions I run on my laptop, 3 have calibre 4.22 (Arch and Manjaro and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed), 3 have calibre's python 3 betas available, 2 have calibre 3.3.1 or earlier. The last distribution is Photon 3.0 which doesn't offer calibre or a GUI though it's Docker and Kubernetes support is great.

And yes, I know that is more than 7 since a couple of repositories have old calibre python 2 installs and a beta calibre python 3 install.
