Go for the bionic desktop build, that is 18.04. Backup your data first.

If you want to upgrade through the OS, it is possibly going to wear down
your flash card with many writes, take a long time - and if it goes
wrong and you find a migration blocker, you are probably on your own.

What doesn't work that you need 18.04 for tinkering?

If you want to try Ubuntu for being a desktop OS (i.e. not tinkering),
wouldn't a machine of better class (more grunt) make more sense?
