I usually make 3 partitions:

• /boot
• EFI GPT
• LVM or LUKS+LVM

With the LVM partition, you can carve that up and easily resize/reallocate space as needed. If it’s the last partition on the drive you can easily increase the size of you clone to a larger drive later.

LUKS is off you also want encryption (which in my case I do, with the unlock key in the EFI or TPM).

It usually ends up looking like

• sda1: /boot
• sda2: [EFI GPT]
• sda3: [LUKS] -->LVM with rootfs, var, home, tmp volumes
