I would not have did all of that for me it would have been less time consuming to just install a more up to-date distro, But you did learn about doing manual updates.

Cinnamon is very familiar to people coming from the Windows interface, except done right.

It would be my choice of distro, and I am using an 11-yr-old laptop (Dell Inspiron B130) which came with WinXP... except as it happens I installed Arch Linux, but I am still using Cinnamon.
I updated to the new Cinnamon 2.4 beta last week, really like it no problems.
