You can also install Ubuntu LTS and a lightweight window manager like LXDE or XFCE if you find you need to improve performance (I've done this before). | |

I think my current desktop started as 14.04 and is currently 18.04 so the 3 year cycle isn't too much of a problem. I think you could skip an LTS release and upgrade every 4 area while still getting security updates, though that may no longer be the case | |
