trying to install a dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 11. I am following a youtube guide and the guy is saying to create 3 partitions in the install part - root,home and swap . Now I have no idea what sizes these need to be. this will be for my attempt at least to try and create my own offline openstreet map tile server, this is going to be on 2tb SSD where the tile server needs at least 1.5tb. Basically where are PostgreSQL and MySQL databases located, root or home? Yeah total newbie to linux.

Not enough info for a categorical answer. Earlier comments list some of the unknowns. (E.g. is this on BIOS or UEFI? Are you using MBR or GPT partitioning?) I can only make general comments and recommendations, such as: get some Linux experience yourself before trying to do something like this. Install the desktop OS and use it as your main OS for a few days. As for partition sizes, my general guidelines are: root (/) 32GB, 64GB if you will add a lot of additional software. Swap at least as big as RAM, and ideally 2x RAM. Then the /home partition can be as big as all the remaining space, leaving a reasonable amount for Windows. (E.g. making sure the Windows partition has at least 75% free space.)
