The installer for Ubuntu-like distros makes the setting of a separate home part pretty easy. For instance, in Trisquel 5.5, one of your partitioning options is "something else", which will let you manually size, add, delete, format, ... My latest reinstall of Trisquel 5.5 allocated 10 gb for the root filesystem, 4 gb for swap, and the remaining space for /home. If you think, for instance, /var may get extra-big, it might be a good idea to choose the manual option and make / bigger, which would make /home a little smaller.

LOL the separate Home partition is actually one of my other reasons for wanting to do a fresh install as well.
