Trying to use nonlinux filesystems such as NTFS or FAT as your root filesystem will result in a broken system.
If you wish to manual set up partitions, as an advanced option you will have to choose which file-system you want. A file-system controls how your files are accessed at lower levels on the disk. If you are booting your computer in UEFI mode a more modern firmware compared to BIOS you will need to create an EFI system partition (see `efi system partition Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_System_partition>`_ for more detail). To create this partition you will need a FAT32 file-system with the ESP flag to be mounted at /boot/efi/ under the mount point. You will also need a root (/) file-system, several file-systems included for Lubuntu are Ext4, XFS, and Btrfs. Lubuntu 22.04 has bug with installing BTRFS and `This guide on Lubuntu discourse <https://discourse.lubuntu.me/t/getting-lubuntu-22-04-to-install-with-btrfs/3273/>`_

Lubuntu's bootloader grub does not support creating an encrypted / partition without a separate unencrypted /boot partition. If you create a separate /home partition will be where you save all your user documents photos and videos so make sure if you create one it has enough space for your personal files. All partitions created do not be on the same drive so you can for example put /home on its own drive to give you lots of space and then put / where all of your system and programs will be launched from. A good example of a sensible way to use manual partitioning is if you have a solid state disk and a hard drive in a computer, put the / partition on the solid state drive for faster program launches and /home on the hard drive for more space for your files.
