As has been mentioned GRIG will give you rig control in Linux Mint. It
is loadable through the Synaptic Package manager. (If you are using the
Linux Mint Whisker Menu the Synaptic Package Manager is referred to
simply as Package Manager under the System.)
I mostly use fldigi for digital modes so I use the rig control
functionality it offers. Again as mentioned by another lit member, the
fldigi folks do have a separate rig control program called flrig. It is
loadable through the Linux Mint package facilities
Sadly, Elecraft's support for Linux is tepid.
