Wrong.
In Linux you indeed don't install the drivers from CD like a normal person. You have to compile them, hoping for the interfaces not being fatally broken in the meantime.
You can build them because the developers keep fixing the incompatibilities of interfaces and the build system. In Windows, stuff compiled once works for decades without constant need of renovation.

We can resume this discussion once you ever use Linux for the first time ever in your life. I'm not interested in your 2002 urban legends about Linux.
In the meantime, if people would like to run calibre 5.0 on their current hardware and Microsoft does not let them, they can install Linux and it will in fact work quite adequately despite calibre being complex software.
I personally guarantee it will be usable without the user being required to compile their own drivers.
