This question was originally asked on Ask Ubuntu... maybe better luck here.
From a dead 16.04 Ubuntu system I have access to the disk so I'm trying to recover the data from the MySQL data folder in /opt/bitnami/mysql/. Yes, it was a Bitnami LAMP stack 7.3.15-0.
Is it possible read or use that data on a Win64 MySQL install? Assuming it's possible to do, which version should I install on Windows to match the 8.0.18 source system? A higher version could recognize data produced by the older one?

I would like to get some opinions on the comparison to install Mysql 8.0 in Windows Server and Ubuntu.
A lot of people recommend to run MySQL 8.0 on Linux/Ubuntu platform for better performance. In general, is there any performance degradation running Mysql 8.0 in Windows server?
Where can I get some reference on the comparisons?
I found this other SO post. here. I personally prefer Linux because there is less overhead in general as an operating system. They don't call it the LAMP stack for nothing, you know?
I currently host around 400 websites and would like to migrate from MySQL 5.5 to MariaDB 10. The server is running WHM/cPanel 11.58 (CloudLinux).
I see the option to change the installation but, before I go ahead and do it, I would like to know whether it's a "straightforward" process. I am struggling to find any information online that is clear cut and explains whether MySQL databases/tables are compatible 100% with MariaDB.
Yes, it's possible to upgrade it but I will suggest you first upgrade your mysql version to 5.6 and then upgrade it to MariaDB, Also before upgrading your mysql verison I will suggest you please take backup of your all databases in .sql format.
Upgrading the database version needs intensive testing.
Is it better to upgrade to latest version of MySQL workbench?
If we are installing previous versions of MySQL database, Is there any certification matrix to know all the corresponding version of MySQL workbench or what minimum version it can work with?
Mysql-Workbench using libmysql.dll. You must update this dll from your mysql\lib folder. So a lot function working same as before.
I installed mysql workbench mistakenly. but now i can't install mysql community server. Please tell me how to do it?
I doubt that MySQL Workbench's installation really prevents you from installing a MySQL server. There must be a different problem. Use the MySQL Installer for Windows, which gives you everything you need related to MySQL. It should also recognize the installed WB and offer you updates, if there are any.
It is better to uninstall workbench and then setup community server.
If you are doing this in windows
Basically I want to know where I can find a distribution of XAMPP that uses good ol' MySQL instead of MariaDB. I have a Drupal site that runs fine on MySQL 5.5.16, but when I run it on MySQL 10.1.0-MariaDB (which was what the newer XAMPP I downloaded came with), I can't clear the caches without it corrupting the database. I know MariaDB is supposedly the same as MySQL, but this error is happening with one and not the other, and nothing else is different. Where can I get that distribution?
I am presuming you are using Windows.
According to WikiPedia, MySQL 5.5.16 came installed with XAMPP 1.7.7 and the last version of XAMPP to come with MySQL (5.6.26) was XAMPP 5.6.12. (Source)
You can find all the older versions of XAMPP on Sourceforge.
