That falls under the category of "pre-partitioned, you just need to reformat the partitions to clean them up".

I've also been thinking about giving Korora 24 a try. Have you taken a look at it?

I am quite happy with Arch and see no need to distro hop, and besides I don't really see what the point of most remixes are.

I'm still a little confused. So does patching fix things that a regular OTA update doesn't?

Patching is done when the vendor software does things that users disagree with. You'd have to look up the patches available and see if any of them accomplish changes that you desire to have.

Also known as "hacks". I assume the Kobo developers community calls them "patches" rather than "hacks" because it doesn't imply a need to jailbreak (since the Kobo doesn't, after all, require a jailbreak).
