Are there real advantages to using either MySQL or MariaDB instead of PostgreSQL?

Operating and securing Postgres is a steeper learning curve.

Is Maria that much better than MySQL?

Cause that one is absolute shit, very difficult to maintain, and requires lots of config changes and even replicas can disconnect when something’s not 100% ok.

I will take Postgres over any other DB any day of the week.
