PICkit 3 does not use the same command set as PICkit 2. Its
firmware structure is also different from PICkit 2 (more like ICD 2).
So as of now it is not working under native Linux.

You can of course use Virtual Machines and Windows to get
it working under Linux.

I am not so sure when this situation will change. As of now,
PICkit 3 is not as good as PICkit 2, even under Windows.
