this is the first time that I ask a question here.
Is there any reasons for using MySQL over MariaDB ? I am currently using MariaDB (Everywhere home and pro) since Debian (Stretch) is no longer offering MySQL. ( I must say that I really like MariaDB and use it everywhere and never had any trouble with it.
If I understand correctly, MariaDB is still designed for migrating from MySQL. Beside that MariaDB and MySQL have a lot of variance.
To this day, I still see some people using MySQL , some like Oracle products and don't really see reasons for using MariaDB and others don't really care I guess.
Personally, I prefer MariaDB for the ease of use and I always had some weird trouble with MySQL for weird reasons unfortunately. Not to mention, I don't particularly care for Oracle products. Installation and maintaining have always been a pain, MariaDB bash script is working really great.
Other(s) reason(s), could be performance, articles/graphs are saying that MariaDB is faster, in my opinion, it must really depend for what. People that want performance hate both with what I've seen.
So, what do you prefer in 2022 and why ? :)
Thank you,
