Welcome to the list. Controlling color temp with RAW shooting is fairly easy. I just shoot on auto white balance and adjust during conversion – either to my preference or, using the eyedropper, to a neutral color, like grey or white. Getting out of Linux and into PhotoShop elements, PhotoShop or Lightroom, on either a Mac or PC, will help in that regard. Paul
