Installing MariaDB on Debian 10 Proposed Changes

[GTAXL]

Link: https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/how-to-install-mariadb-on-debian-10/ The following command UPDATE user SET plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE user='root'; no longer works. This guide needs updated for Debian 12 Bookworm. It should use

ALTER USER root@localhost IDENTIFIED VIA mysql_native_password;
SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('foo');

instead. Also mysql_secure_installation should really be changed to mariadb-secure-installation, even though they are symlinked.
