What Linux support do you want exactly? Controlling a Chromecast from Chrome on Linux works fine.

There's also an awesome command-line chromecast client which can play local and remote media. It works quite well in my experience. https://github.com/xat/castnow
You can cast tabs from Chrome on Linux. What support are you asking about? Any developer can choose to implement the Chromecast API.
Where is the API ? The last I've known they only have it available in Android and iOS so no desktop yet.
It's available as a Chrome (and maybe Firefox?) extension[0], then websites can use some JavaScript APIs to control it (with user permission of course)[1].

On developers.google.com just like you'd expect. :) https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/downloads
I downloaded CastHelloVideo-chrome, put it on my webserver, opened the URL in Chrome, and it worked as advertised. Granted, it does require Chrome and the Google Cast extension, which is as far as I know proprietary.
