To be honest, on 256G - when you don't know what you want - I'd be inclined
to take the guided partitioning all in one partition layout as a good
start. Logs rotate these days, downloads can be deleted. If you know you're
going to be running lots of things in one particular partition, that's
slightly different - I have 6TB as a dedicated LVM volume under /srv here
in one machine because there's a local Linux mirror across my desk, but
that's exceptional
It's not a bad choice, but a separate home has made any number
of upgrades and experiments much more bearable to me. Backups,
too, of course.
