**Kexts** | Also known as **K**ernel **Ext**ensions, are macOS's drivers. They're used to perform different tasks like device drivers or for a different purpose (in this patcher) like patching the OS, injecting information or running tasks.
**KernelCollection** | Also known as the ImmutableKernel and PrelinkedKernel, this is a bundle of the kernel(XNU) and kernel extensions(Kexts) that we use to boot macOS. This is also what OpenCore patches in memory to allow us to have a seamless experience <br/>- PrelinkedKernel: Default caching system since 10.7 <br/>- ImmutableKernel: Secure Boot based caching system since 10.13 <br/>- KernelCollection: Merge of both Prelinked and ImmutableKernel's since macOS 11, Big Sur
