From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

/ and /boot are (arguably) all you need on a single disk system
But why
/boot?I would much rather split out
/homeif I'm going to split anything, so it can go through a future reinstall more smoothly. With/varbeing a more distant second candidate, because I've been burnt on several occasions by various programs eating up all disk space somewhere under it.For EFI probably.
Its best practice to just split out /efi in that case
