Not sure why you wouldn't be able to use that command. The only reason Mint will be waiting(like in my reply above yours) is because Canonical recommends waiting for the point release 16.4.1 for Ubuntu LTS users because 14.04 users will be used to a rock solid install and Canonical aims to have all the bugs ironed out by 16.04.1 which is due in July next month.

It's only a recommendation.

Upgrading from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS or 15.10

14.04 LTS to LTS upgrades will be enabled with the 16.04.1 LTS point release, in approximately 3 months time.

To upgrade on a desktop system:

Open the "Software & Updates" Setting in System Settings. Select the 3rd Tab called "Updates". Set the "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version" dropdown menu to "For any new version" if you are using 15.10, set it to "long-term support versions" if you are using 14.04 LTS. Press Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager" (without the quotes) into the command box. Software Updater should open up and tell you: New distribution release '16.04 LTS' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.

Straight from the official wiki page which is basically the same as your command.

That said I'm not sure if this would work on Mint because It has some of it's own repositories but I don't see why not either.
