I've previously had MySQL 8.0 installed but heard that I could get a bit more out of my server with the Percona version.

I removed every trace of the previous MySQL install and rebooted before starting.

Than I followed this guide to install the new version. I tried muultiple times with a clean install or with mysql alredy on it but it always threw some kind of error on the 8. step(sudo apt install percona-server-server). Usually:

   mysql.service - Percona Server
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mysql.service; enabled; vendor preset:

Welcome to AskUbuntu. There is likely a more specific error message located in the `/var/log` directory. Check to see if there is something in the `mysql.error` log or in `syslog` relating to the issue with Percona. That should offer you something more actionable than the messages above

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
