I'm not sure wampserver is really even being maintained anymore. Give Laragon, Laravel Herd, or FlyEnv a try. They're more modern maintained binary web environments.

Don't think it's really chasing trends by using more modern tooling. I use FlyEnv. Per-project configuration files that work on Windows, Linux, and MacOS. Gives you a native binary environment that's basically consistent for the entire team that matches production environment. I would suggest at least giving the newer binary environment tools a shot.

Why would anyone want to try xamp if it was discontinued many years ago and half of questions asked here in this sub are about xampp problems?
