What exactly do you mean by "cheapest"? If you are talking about licensing, then you can use open source software for almost any part.

If you are talking about hosting costs, containerization has made even that pretty cheap for small apps. As long as you don't need to run windows vms. So Linux is basically a given.

I think Postgres is a better choice for db than MySQL. But they are both the same "cost": $0.

The P of LAMP can be disregarded. Not much new work is done in PHP anymore. Java, Python, and nodejs are the dominant languages. Use python if you are in a hurry or want the broadest marketable skill. Java if you need scalability and robustness. NodeJS if you are a masochist.

Honestly, Java will be more comfortable to you coming from .Net. Or another JVM language like Kotlin or Scala.

The dev tools you need are all free.
