Should I listen to the ChatGPT?

Fellow Linux enthusiasts, I was thinking of reviving my old laptop so my dad could use it to join court hearings via video if needed. The laptop is a Lenovo B50-30 (Celeron N2830, 8 GB RAM, 240 GB SSD). ChatGPT recommends installing Linux Mint 22.3 "Zena" Xfce 64-bit with the following SSD partitioning scheme:

EFI 512 MB

/ \~220 GB ext4

swap 8 GB

Is this good advice to follow?

I never used Linux and it would be my first experience with it.
