Here's my partitioning schemes: MBR partition table, BIOS/Legacy boot firmware: /, /boot, /home, swap
GPT partition table, BIOS/Legacy boot firmeare: bios boot, /, /boot, /home, swap GPT partition table, UEFI boot firmware: /boot/efi, /, /boot, /home, swap So 4 or 5 partitions are more than enough for "average users".
