Partitioning for LFS System Implementation [closed]

I am about to develop my own OS using Linux from Scratch documentation (8.3). My plan is as follows: As everyone knows, we need a host for this. So I have installed Lubuntu 18.04 LTS on my flash drive (4GB). I have done this because Windows 10 is installed onto my hard disk so I don't want it to malfunction in case of any bug. But I am unsure about the partition process. Can someone recommend me what necessary partitions should I make and by how much if I want to develop my own system like Ubuntu.

depends on exactly how big the LFS you want to build is. but you're omitting some requirements here. you don't give any reason for making it this complicated. if you can allocate a contiguous 25GB on a hard drive, then use that. If the distro requires or advises a separate /boot, you've got room for that, and swap sounds like it might be useful. if you'd be able to expand the space later, separate /home might make sense. but there's no logic for hard-partitioning your space between /home and root. Better to use /home for everything - or not a separate partition at all - to allow flexibility

@sourcejedi Are now the requirements complete? Another thing: You are advising me to use /home for everything with the exception of swap partition. I respect your advice. But if you'd notice under section 2.4.1 'Other Partition Issues' of LFS Manual, they say that this not optimal for LFS due to several reasons.

you mis-read it. "A root LFS partition (not to be confused with the /root directory) of ten gigabytes is a good compromise for most systems"

@sourcejedi I have changed the question to a specific problem. If it is still not correct, can you please make necessary changes so that the answers may benefit me.
