Have you thought about installing VirtualBox and creating your test Linux in a virtual machine? The installation of VirtualBox is simple, and the installation of a new O/S under it is exactly the same as if it were on a 'bare' system. You'll get to create and size your partitions under the VM without the worry that you'll destroy your real environment.

SYSTEMD-GPT-AUTO-GENERATOR(8) systemd-gpt-auto-generator SYSTEMD-GPT-AUTO-GENERATOR(8)
NAME
systemd-gpt-auto-generator - Generator for automatically discovering and mounting /home as well as discovering and enabling swap
partitions, based on GPT partition type GUIDs.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-gpt-auto-generator
DESCRIPTION
systemd-gpt-auto-generator is a generator that automatically discovers /home and swap partitions and creates mount and swap units for them,
based on the the partition type GUIDs of GUID partition tables (GPT). Note that this generator will execute no operation on non-GPT
systems, on systems where the units are explicitly configured (for example, listed in fstab(5)) or where the mount point is non-empty.
This generator will only look for partitions on the same physical disk the root file system is stored on. This generator has no effect on
systems where the root file system is distributed on multiple disks, for example via btrfs RAID.
This generator is useful for centralizing file system configuration in the partition table and making manual configuration in /etc/fstab or
suchlike unnecessary.
This generator looks for swap partitions using GPT type 0657fd6d-a4ab-43c4-84e50933c84b4f4f. It looks for /home partitions using GPT type
933ac7e1-2eb4-4f13-b8440e14e2aef915.
systemd-gpt-auto-generator implements the generator specification[1].
