The 2023 krakens on Linux
I intend to purchase an AIO for a system that will also run Linux in dual boot. As CAM is not available for Linux, i have been looking at 3rd party options such as https://github.com/liquidctl/liquidctl for controlling the AIO on Linux systems. Support for the 2023 models is still a work in progress however. I'm not sure what will happen to my AIO if I run linux without CAM or other software configured.

Monitoring the temperature of the 4090 connector before it melts
Most motherboards have a header to connect a 10k probe like that. I currently connected the 10k into my Corsair iCUE Commander (there is a temp probe connector). In Linux I use this project to read the temps and fan speeds: https://github.com/liquidctl/liquidctl

Running this beast as my Linux workstation, needed to code most of the driver myself but i still love it!
I did both, implementing the RGB Controller driver standalone and inside of liquidctl. The pull-request for liquidctl is in principle ready but i did not have time to test all of the more complex functionality. You can find the current state here https://github.com/maxawake/liquidctl/tree/nzxt-rgb-controller The NZXT Kraken Elite 360 driver to control the water cooling pump and the LCD display has been added by brokenmass in this pull request https://github.com/liquidctl/liquidctl/pull/605 My corsair vengeance DDR5 Ram is connected via i2c and my case fans are on a ARGB header of my asus motherboard which i can both control via the newest gitlab version of openRGB. Hope this helps! If you need help getting it running just ask

Goodbye Windows, hello Water Cooled Linux Gaming (First Build)
Also, very very useful on both windows and linux: liquidctl. Even if the kernel doesn't have support, this can control it (speaking about the commander pro, but applies to everything else on the README list as well).

Next Step In Linux Transition || Drivers / Controllers for Fans, Pumps, and other Peripherals?
For the Corsair AIO control, you want Liquidctl. It doesn't have all the options like iCUE but it works fine.

Any software like FanControl?
There is also Liquidctl which has some type of fancontrol built in, but mainly focuses on liquid coolers (hence the name).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing OpenCAM and liquidctl you can also consider the following projects:
KrakenZPlayground - Fun interaction and play with NZXT Kraken Z AIOs
OpenRGB
svg2gcode_grbl - Python script to convert svg to gcode for GRBL firmware
FanControl.Releases - This is the release repository for Fan Control, a highly customizable fan controlling software for Windows.
psml - Python library for OpenSCAD
LibreHardwareMonitor - Libre Hardware Monitor, home of the fork of Open Hardware Monitor
SolidPy - 3D Object Design: Python -> OpenSCAD -> Solid Model
liquidctl-docker - Dockerized version of liquidctl - specially for use with UnRAID
FreePySCAD - Like openscad but in python inside freecad
libfive - Infrastructure for solid modeling
cue-sdk - Corsair iCUE SDK
