I decided to use the default partitioining options on the install and I see that swap and the ext4 /home are in a LVM partition.
What does LVM buy me on a notebook? It is not like I am going to add another drive and extend /home onto it.
In fact if I have to pull the drivew to rescue data from /home, I then have to contend dealing with LVM and what if it is the same label as the lvm on the system I try to mount it on.
Seems to me, in my limited knowledge, that I should continue as I have for some time and just create the swap and home partitions directly.
