It blows my mind that we had multiple modern ways to setup volumes in Linux (LVM, ZFS, BTRFS) for decades, yet people keep using partitions like it’s 1990.

It blows my mind that we had multiple modern ways to setup volumes in Linux (LVM, ZFS, BTRFS) for decades, yet people keep using partitions like it’s 1990.
I recommend creating 3 partitions. One for UEFI, one for /boot and one for LVM.
Inside the LVM you can assign volumes with complete flexibility. You can expand and shrink volumes. You can leave space unallocated and allocate it when the need presents itself. You can combine multiple disks in a single volume. You can do RAID over LVM or the other way around.
Or you can go with ZFS or BTRFS, they have subvolumes and other nice features built in.
What you don’t have is to be stuck with fixed layout partitions anymore.
