If you want to install Ubuntu 18.04 or any other version, here's the simplest way of doing it.

This method replaces Windows or any other operating system on your computer. This way Ubuntu becomes the only OS on your PC.

This is the simplest method because Ubuntu installer automatically handles the disk partition. You don’t have to worry about creating partitions on your own. It automatically creates an ESP partition for UEFI.

It uses the rest of the disk space in creating a single root partition. The root partition (normally) has a 2 GB of swapfile. You don’t need to create a separate swap partition and if the need be, you can increase the size of the swapfile.

The root partition also has the boot directory for grub related files. It also contains the home directory that is used for storing user related files like documents, pictures, music, videos, downloads etc.

It’s a no-brainer. You let Ubuntu do the work for you instead of wondering about creating ESP, root, Swap and Home partitions.

I advise you to put your important files and data on an external USB disk as your system will be formatted and your disk will be wiped clean.
