Hi :) No, the problem is much larger, as Owen states. Data-loss is a very serious issue, especially in a database!! Of course documentation tries to keep things as simple as possible! Learning just enough about databases in order to create one is FAR more difficult than learning just enough to

Hi :) MariaDb's stated aims were to remain a drop in replacement for MySql. It's not easy! Distros, especially gateway ones (for people new to GnuLinux) often have a whole load of apps already installed. It's usually fairly easy to install others but many people are likely to stick with the
