Hi, When you install Ubuntu and select automatic partitions during installation, it creates two partitions - swap and / partition. Swap is usually double the size of RAM in your Computer. The remaining space is formatted as EXT4 Filesystem and is mounted at / partition which contains all the folders mentioned below.
Another way I prefer is do a manual partition during instillation time. I manually make a swap partition (double the size of system RAM), / partition (About 20 GB which will install all the System/Program Files) and a separate /home partition. A separate home folder partition ensures that my home folder is not affected in case if anything happens to my my System partition (/). Also I'm able to reinstall/upgrade a different version keeping my home partition intact in the future.
