Valet Linux+ is an advanced development environment for Linux minimalists. No Vagrant, no /etc/hosts file. You can even share your sites publicly using local tunnels. Yeah, we like it too.
Valet Linux+ configures your system to always run Nginx in the background when your machine starts. Then, using DnsMasq, Valet proxies all requests on the *.test domain to point to sites installed on your local machine.
In other words, a blazing fast PHP development environment that uses roughly 7mb of RAM. Valet Linux+ isn't a complete replacement for Vagrant or Homestead, but provides a great alternative if you want flexible basics, prefer extreme speed, or are working on a machine with a limited amount of RAM.
Documentation for Valet can be found on the Valet Linux website.
