Lando does look good, but what I really want is a similar tool which isn't using Docker. I use macOS, and Docker on macOS is just a poor experience. And most tools now have good cross-platform support, so just installing the native tools portably ought to work quite well.

I wish they had a cloud offering, it's something I'll look into setting up one of these days as I've been getting more and more motivated to move some of my lesser used/stable projects to the cloud so I don't have them on my main machine and can access them quickly if I'm away or a client needs some change. I've heard good things about https://www.gitpod.io/. Also funnily enough I have a m1 mac and I use lando on it without any issues whatsoever, other than starting docker I don't interact with it at all.
Maybe canonical's multipass is a good option. It creates Ubuntu VMs very quickly using hyperkit, has as they were containers with docker. It has some limitations but works pretty well overall.

asdf seems to have a php plugin. May be worth trying.
