Regarding switching to MariaDB, that is supported, but you need to replace mysql with mariadb in one go:

# apt-get install mariadb-client-core-10.0 mariadb-server-core-10.0

should give you:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  mysql-client-core-5.7 mysql-server-core-5.7
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libreadline5 mariadb-client-core-10.0 mariadb-common mariadb-server-core-10.0
