Although some people still prefer to leave about 20% of a SSD as raw unpartitioned space, so SSD can spare/level out sectors to that empty space, this is IMO on longer necessary, as you can report entire free space as void of data to the SSD, and it will TRIM it on demand. You can do it by manually invoking fstrim, or using systemd timer, or using async discard if you using Btrfs. TL;DR: Use ENTIRE space however you want. After complete install just make sure that both services fstrim and fstrim.timer are enabled and running, that's all.
