Hello Dan,

Sorry for the noob question but what does /home contain?

I had an unpleasant experience when I installed Microsoft Windows 10 first followed by Debian Buster. I was unable to boot into Microsoft Windows OS. That's why I dedicated a discreet partition for Debian called /boot.
Fair enough. I wasn't considering a mixed boot environment.

More to the point, I'm allocating 100GB of a notional 250 to
/home, and most of the rest to /. / will have everything in it
except your personal data; /var, /srv, and so forth all fall
under it.
If you have 100GB total, I would put about 40G to / and 60 to
/home.
