        The problem is that MariaDB has to go the the trouble to implement the bugs in MySQL, as it aims to be a drop-in replacement. It’s far better to use postgres because its not held back by a proprietary BS counterpart.

          As a DB Adminitrator which is part of my SysAdmin curriculum I tell you.

          • MariaDB has nothing to do from MySQL development from a lot. It is independent.

          • utf8 was maintained for compatibility as an alias to utf8mb3 but can be changed in configuration to point utf8mb4.

          • Default configuration and several SQL sentences have changed compared to MySQL.

          I tell you this by direct experience in the process of learning by using MariaDB and my classmates using MySQL.
