One bit, to that end: when given the choice, choose to put your home mount on a separate partition. Trust me - the extra couple clicks will be worth it in the long run.
That's a good advice, but I think that is relevant for the 2nd install, in my experience the first install is just to feel the waters, change the wallpaper, browse the installed SW, checking out some configs. After a week or less is to checkout about Linux, alternatives to knowns SW, maybe play a bit with the terminal, feel like a hacker (is part of the process, we all got through it), find it kinda weird for a while. Then maybe a month into it and after checking all the "best distro to ... 2019" you'll probably install a couple of distros after anything worth saving is done, in that case you can just throw it in a usb drive. When you understan partitions you'll naturally move things around, to have a separate /home from the start is hard because you have no idea of how much you need, how to split your space. For me the first install should be in its own drive, default settings, as simple as possible and hopefully in a secondary machine, no fear to lose anything, first install, just play and mess with it. Basic knowledge comes almost by osmosis. After that you'll figure it out your next step, mine was go directly, from Mandrake to Gentoo, probably not a recommended path to everyone.
my 2 cents...
