Hi @alphyo
If you really suffered with all that process as I did, and if you are using Windows, I'll recommend that you change to Laragon: https://laragon.org/
It's really easy to get up and running a test app, and any amount of apps you want and it doesn't depend on any Virtual Machines, nor booting anything at all, so it really makes a huge difference regarding speed and resources usage.
You just create a new folder inside your laragon root folder, and you'll automatically have a new project with a local domain created to immediately access it.
For example, if you install it on C:\laragon you will have your projects under www
If you create a subfolder named my-new-project you will automatically be able to access it at http://my-new-project.test
There you can install Laravel on your own, or you can use it's Quick App feature which allows you to choose between a Laravel, Wordpress and/or Drupal installation and it will prepare everything on your behalf.
You should definitely give it a try!
