Depending of your desktop you can find easier or harder solutions for this.

If you have Gnome:

Just open Tweak tool, go to: Typing tab, and choose: Ctrl is mapped to Win keys in Alt/Win key behavior and you are done, is not perfect but works well.

If you have unity or other flavor you need to use Xmodmap, edit your ~/.Xmodmap with this:

remove control = Control_L
remove mod4 = Super_L Super_R

keysym Control_L = Super_L
keysym Super_L = Control_L
keysym Super_R = Control_L

add control = Control_L Control_R
add mod4 = Super_L Super_R

then add this next line to ~/.profile file and log in again.

xmodmap .Xmodmap
