I generally use Bitnami's stacks. There's one for LAMP too.

Benefits: Fairly latest versions. Everything in one directory (I usually install them under /opt). No effect on system packages. No need to add PPAs for new versions.

Drawbacks: Can't update an existing installation; have to install a new version of the stack in another location and migrate.

I like this, so basically it's the MAMP or WAMP version for like Linux ubuntu?

It works on Ubuntu. I use it on Ubuntu.

It's LAMP. There are different ways to deploy LAMP on Ubuntu but they are all LAMP stacks at the end of the day. 1)From system packages is most common. 2) From PPAs if you want latest versions. 3) As virtual machine. 4)As containers. 5) As software bundles like the Bitnami stack 6) Building all components from their sources.
