Ride the Lighting https://github.com/Ride-The-Lightning/RTL is installed on the Sovran Pro out of the box. But this requires you to have a Sovran Pro.
You can run nix https://nixos.org/download on your Linux Mint machine and install https://github.com/fort-nix/nix-bitcoin. Your Linux Mint machine will then be the node (both bitcoin node and lightning node). Then you can access RTL at your local host 127.0.0.0:3050 to manage your lightning node. RTL is super easy and nix-bitcoin has LND loop where you can manage easily manage the lightning channels with just a few clicks.
You can always reach out to me and I can help you too.
