More recently I've been working with Kinsta. Although they are more expensive, the platform is way more developer friendly. You can manage your own deployment pipeline through GIT or use their DevKinsta development tool. They also offer application hosting. The biggest attraction to me is their support and CDN which automatically optimises images and serves WebP. Source: about 1 year ago
Sorry, I thought Laragon was cross platform. DevKinsta runs on Linux. You might give it a try. It requires Docker. https://kinsta.com/devkinsta/. Source: over 1 year ago
You can use local server for development (e.g. Local WP or DevKinsta...). When you create a new website, wizard will ask you for an address - simply provide domain of old website. It will work without any problems 👍 Then when you finish new website all you need to do will be transferring files and database and update wp-config.php database connection settings 😋.

IMHO Don't worry about the Flywheel environment that's referred to in in the course, just use Local WP to provision a local hosting environment https://localwp.com/ – or MAMP or whatever you prefer – and go from there. Source: 8 months ago
I tried to set things up locally with Local, but man was that slow and the available components (like PHP) are not the same version as on the production server so I worry about compatibility. Source: 9 months ago
