From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

They destroy everything they touch...
I am only happy for the damaged they made to MySQL popularity. ;-)
Which one do you prefer then? Choose carefully.
Postgres
You have chosen wisely
No, they chose Postgres. WiselySQL isn't even a thing.
MariaDB is pretty cool though. They've continued to innovate in the space and have some truthfully dope features. Like being able to create an index against a arbitrary json path of a json column.
