Hi Rodolfo!
Thanks for your help in making Ubuntu better.
Be aware that removing /var/lib/mysql will remove all the data of your databases, so you should probably first create a backup of your databases.
For historical reasons, MariaDB and MySQL share the same PATH (/var/lib/mysql and /etc/mysql) so before installing mariadb over mysql, you should remove all the mysql related package and remove those directories.
