Partition 1 says EFI 210 MB FAT. The second partition says MAC 211 GB APFS. Partition 3 says Swap 4.0 GB. Partition 4 says 36 GB Ext 4.  Is this correct? It would seem to me that I would try to split the hard drive more evenly between OSX and UBUNTU. If changing the partition makes sense can I do this in either UBUNTO or OSX without reinstalling?

We saw your earlier post.

Give it time, find out what you need.

BTW: the names are "macOS" and "Ubuntu". Yes, the capitalisation
matters -- in Linux, it matters a lot.

I would recommend:

Ubuntu root first. I use binary round numbers. 16 GB is enough. 32 GB is a lot.
Then a separate /home partition. As you say, around 50% of disk space
is sensible.
Then swap on the end.

Re Robert Heller's comment -- I don't think Linux can mount APFS yet.
Maybe read-only. Apple changed its disk format recently from HFS+
which works fine in Linux to a new one, which does not yet, as far as
I know.
