This shouldn't come as much surprise, but the upcoming Fedora 32 will offer the latest "L.A.M.P." stack components...

I don't get why did they have to split the MySQL code into 2 pieces: MySQL Community and MariaDB.
Maybe because Oracle bought MySQL, but still, why, if they both are almost the exact same code?

I thought we're past the age where anyone runs their web services on the actual host OS. Who cares what version of PHP they ship in the age of containers.

Maybe for Fedora 32 containers?

MariaDB was born in order to prevent eventual MySQL's licence change but still I miss a MongoDB's replacement in Fedora due to the same subject

Script kiddies. Eventually they might find a way to escape the container, and that will be a risk.

Oh come on,

-Fedora 32 : the distro without 32 bit support.

They are not almost the same code, yes MariaDB incorporates most of the patches that Oracle puts into MySQL but MariaDB also performs lots of independent development (that Oracle does not put into MySQL).

No, not everyone uses containers. Also I care about what version of PHP they ship for when I do local web development.

So what do you think runs in the container? Btw. containers are not the answer to every use case.

FYI: containers are built by downloading and installing host OS packages inside it.
