I agree with your screenshot, Maria 10.2.

As above, go to Mariadb 10.2

I ran MariaDB for quite a while and it was great. Not running it now only because I've upgraded to MariaDB 10.3.

MariaDB is one of several MySQL forks that occurred after Oracle bought Sun.

If this is for an established Xenforo installation you may want to create a backup of your database. I've found moving from MySQL to MariaDB raw on a major installation to be a somewhat tricky process.

How so? I'm curious what you've run into. I've converted some insanely large (non-XF) DBs from MySQL to MariaDB without a single issue and plenty of regular-sized XFs.

I don't remember much, it was while upgrading my slave server to the new Debian testing distribution, so it was one of several different headaches. I have a lot of custom configurations, including paths, so AppArmor naturally blew up, and that's most of what I had to fight with and all of what I remember.
