Is it a good idea to have a LAMP on your desktop [closed]
I am a web-developer. I have a LAMP installed on my daily driver desktop ubuntu system. It is not accessible from the outside because I haven't forwarded any ports to it. However a friend told me that it is a bad idea to have LAMP on your machine. Is it really a bad/good idea to have a LAMP on your local machine? (Apache and MySQL are disabled from the autostart menu - I start them manually when I need them with systemctl
).

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

And where should you keep them? If there are for development then you need them there!

No, it's not a bad idea. The only downside is that LAMP consumes resource. But it harms little as long as you can afford it.
Also, many applications (for example, express framework) nowadays run nodejs webservers of their own, so how bad could it be to run another apache?
