I don't see much point of using LVM on a PC that can't possibly have
more than one hard drive, but partitions do still have their uses.  You
can mount certain things using file systems more efficient for the
purpose, you can mount certain things with protective restrictions (such
as noexec, nodev, etc.), and so on...

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
