Ubuntu Partition Sizes
Ubuntu 18.04 and newer create a swapfile by themselves, a swap partition is not needed.
It is most efficient to keep home as part of the root, (/), partition. If separate, and one fills before the other, it becomes necessary modify partition sizes.
You can make the EFI partition the first on the disk with a size of 500MB.
You can use the remainder of the Disk for /.
You will want to backup your home directory on a separate disk for safe keeping and for possible reuse when you upgrade.
If Microsoft Windows is involved in the setup, via dual boot or Windows-To-Go USB, etc, you might want to allow some space, (100 to 800 GB), for a NTFS data partition that can be shared between Ubuntu and Windows, (as suggested by Archisman Panigrahi).
