I need to upgrade/move a 5.7 version of mysql on ubuntu 18.04 so that it's still 5.7 but does not use the MariaDB engine. Everything I can find online talks about moving from Mysql to MariaDB, not the other way around. I'm not even sure there is a way to do this.
I'm stuck with having to install a webapp that uses MySQL but cannot use MariaDB. The creators of the app have assured the user community that it's "an easy upgrade" but then provide no details.
Any help is appreciated.

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.
I need to upgrade mysql 5.0 to mysql 5.6 on Linux Server . What are the commands or what are the steps should I follow . I am new to mySQL and Linux. I have gone through the steps to follow but I could not get any complete idea like how to get the software copied to Linux and what are the mysql commands on Linux to upgrade the existing mysql.
Check the Official Documentation on MySql for the instructions to Upgrade your MySql server.
As #Michael said, It heavily depends on your Linux distro. Generally you can upgrade using Yum Repository/Apt Repository via Terminal. You may refer to the documentation for more information.
I've scoured the MySql website to see if they have compatibility listings for MySQL Workbench, but have not found anything. Does anyone know if 6.0.x can connect to 5.5.x databases? I'd rather not install and then have to roll back.
MySQL Workbench can connect to most MySQL server versions, but that is probably not the primary question. You should rather ask what minimum version it can work with. MySQL Workbench requires at least MySQL 5.0 and can work with any MySQL server after that (including the new 5.7). Some features like authentication plugin or performance schema support require higher server versions, though.
the company i work for is considering for multiple reasons (some of them libked to the politics of open source and oracle) a switch from MySQL to Mariadb. Our development team has been using Zend Server (now it's 6th version) which always install mysql. Is it possible to switch from mySQl to Mariadb smoothly? are there any hurdles that we should be aware of ahead of time? The OS for every development computer is Ubuntu 13.04 at this point.
No, there should be no more issues than when upgrading to a new MySQL version.

What is the best version of MySQL to use with Rails 3 as of today (28/4/11)?
At the moment I got Mysql 5.5.11 community server and I have had lots of problems with it. I want to install an older version of MySQL. Which one would you recommend?
Thanks in advance.
PS: The issues were with the mysql2 gem.
I would say 5.1 only because of problems I had trying to compile the driver with MySQL 5.5 on mac (which is of course a show stopper).
And I had no issues at all with MySQL 5.1.
Even with the very public outage it recently suffered, we would recommend Amazon's RDS service. We find it has been very reliable and easy to administer.
Our RDS instance is currently running MySQL version 5.1.45.
