I host a website on a local network with XAMPP. I usually access it with the IP address on another device.
How can I host my website on a domain like website.local ?
My OS is Windows 10 but if needed can switch to linux.

This has, of course nothing to do with a business IT environment. A couple of tips, though:

Don't use ".local" domains in real life. They cause more trouble than they're worth. The yearly cost of a domain name is not high and will open up more opportunities to learn as a hobbyist.

To solve your problem you don't necessarily need to switch operating systems but to do it "as if for real" you will want to set up a DNS and you will need to learn about certificates and certificate chains.
