  1. To answer your exact questions:

    • Yes.
    • Just use MariaDB instead of MySQL.
    • No, it is a straight replacement.

    The exact details depend heavily upon your exact situation. However, MariaDB is marketed as a compatible MySQL replacement. AFAIK, it works with WordPress with no changes at all.
