I have a laptop with Intel TXT (Trusted Execution Technology), running Fedora 23.

As a home user, is there any practical benefit to activating this?

Don't forget the botnets.
Also no, OP Intel just wants you for their own botnet.

I've no idea, but I was wondering what the Intel microcode driver is about. Maybe its the TXT?

If you trust Intel more than you trust your OS then yes. Otherwise no.

No, technology was literally designed around cloud providers.
