Now, is there any way by which I can copy some configuration and preference files from "USB Drive/Calibre/Calibre Portable" directory to where Calibre has equivalent directory in linux directories? If not, I shall manually configure my whole Calibre again.
You need to use Export, then have same version of Calibre, but for target OS, and then use Import. All the configurations and even noDRM settings will import.

I've used Linux & Windows on dual boot since 1998 (NT 4, Win 2K, XP, Win7) and since Jan 2017 deleted the Windows 7.
I still have an old Win10 laptop and XP, win7 and Win10 on VMs on Linux (and used export/import to Win10 destination).
The XP and Win7 calibre installs still exist, but books can only be added, the versions of Calibre are too old for Import.
