What is the best way to partition a hard drive for different GNU/Linux distributions?
I plan to install various GNU/Linux distributions on one hard drive on my home computer.
What is the best way to partition a hard drive, taking into account the stability and security of different GNU/Linux distributions ?
UPD.
A big request is not to offer to make the HDD layout in a simplified form, something like this (for "Mugs"):
• /boot - bootloader files;
• /home - section for user files;
• swap - swap partition, to unload pages from RAM if it is full

Stability, security, and "one drive" in the same paragraph cause cognitive dissonance.
Well, set up LVM, I don't know, since you're planning on multiple distributions.
Stability, security and one drive? Ha-ha, it's probably funny ... By the way, security - from what? Protection against data loss, theft/leakage? If the former, then you will need a RAID controller with a battery and at least 2 disks to mirror the data. And - if "not to offer in a simplified form", then sorry, mua, have you already studied the documentation for LVM?
You will need ...
So this is ...
/boot
swap
(hereinafter LVM volume groups)
vg_distrib1
vg_distrib2
vg_distribN
Inside the volume group, you don’t have to bother too much, create /, /home and /var, so that it’s easier to separate homework from the system
The disk is marked not under the system but under the task.
Change your understanding, do not think with patterns imposed by various articles.
