Ignore that, I should have used fdisk instead of my memory; what I
actually have is:
  /boot  (300MB [1])
  /
  /home  (which is then encrypted)
  swap

I also have two windows partitions; I gave windows 140GB, expecting to
use it more than I have.

I gave roughly 150GB to /, and 170GB to /home; the former is at 58%, the
latter at 94% (after recently moving some large files off to /). So, if
I had the chance to do it again, I'd split it as 100Gb and 220GB.
