Currently I am using WAMPserver on Windows, I'm very happy with it, but Drupal requires Drush and Composer for website maintenance and updates, all the literature is written for linux. So I am looking into using WSL2 with ubuntu - and I am looking for a tool similar to WAMPserver for ubuntu. What I particularly appreciate in WAMPserver is that everything comes pre-installed and pre-configured, and the program takes care of creating new vhosts, etc. as needed, no need to do anything in the Windows hosts file, etc. It just works directly out of the box. Also, changing PHP or MySQL versions takes just a mouseclick, for example I can click database->mysql5 and then PHP version->5.56, services-> restart and it's done. Or activating and deactivating Apache modules, setting PHP parameters, etc. I was using XAMPP for Windows before and ditched it for WAMPserver because XAMPP for Windows was too unflexible. So is AMPPS the right tool for me to use on ubuntu? I visited the download page and I am also a somewhat concerned about the latest PHP for linux being 7.1.8 ?My webhost's oldest PHP version is 7.2 ... why does AMPPS for linux ship with an old PHP version?
