On my current laptop (from 2011) I originally ran Ubuntu 10.04. It booted in 23 seconds. Now I run Xubuntu 20.04. It boots in 35 seconds. Slower, but acceptable.
Who would a hacker care about your computer? Even if they're not interested in stealing or kidnapping your data, they may be interested in your network connection to send spam or they may want your processing power to mine cryptocurrency using your electricity. I can think of several other applications. So just don't use 10.04. It's dead.
