Drupal 8.x

Hi, I am a noob so please excuse what may be very silly questions & I read all the documentation I could find.  I also looked for a Drupalvm specific forum but couldn't find one (no recent replies on the youtube vid).

My current plan is to use Drupalvm which "will install the following on an Ubuntu 18.04 (by default) linux VM" after I install Vagrant, Ansible, & download Drupalvm.

I spent about 10 years working with Drupal in various capacities but I've been away from it for two years. Now I'd like to get back to it but don't know where to start. I see Drupal 9 is out and would like to start a fresh D9 site but my trusted Dev Desktop does not allow me to run it because I don't have the required PHP version (7.2, 7.3, or something). My Macbook is running PHP 7.1.33. I've been looking for the simplest way to upgrade my local PHP but I've only found one way and it's complicated, so I'd like to put that aside for now.

This present bug occurs on one of my D8 sites in preproduction, and also at a Drupal developer friend's personal site. Here is the code for my menu links in Navigation menu (with 'main' as machine name):

I was going to try an upgrade from 8 to 9 this weekend.  But reading the requirements:

https://www.drupal.org/docs/9/how-drupal-9-is-made-and-what-is-included/...

It requires 2.4.7, but the latest stable release on Apache is 2.4.43:

Have people upgraded on 2.4.43 or am I missing something?
 

Hi all,

I've set my minimum-stability in composer.json to "stable".

Now I'd like to install a module ("simplenews") which is only available in beta/dev versions.

Doing

composer require drupal/simplenews

will result in
