I have an 10" Samsung netbook (single core Intel Atom [email protected]; 2GB RAM).
LL2.8 is the last LL release that runs well (without noticeable lag) on this machine.

What is the risk in continuing to use this LL release on this machine, even though it's past its 5-year life-cycle ?

I only use the netbook for downloading & listening to podcasts (using Clementine) and watching TV programmes (using VLC media player), while on the move.  So yes, I do connect to the internet with this machine. 
64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung[i] netbook) installed in [i]Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)  
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
