First, I understand you're frustrated - it sucks when things occur that you didn't expect and the feeling of losing data is not fun - but the language and attitude is not going to get you the help that you want.
There are plenty of people in this community wiling and able to help but don't expect them to be helpful if you're going to be disrespectful.
Installer
As Fry (Trust) mentioned - the installer is built within the assumption of a clean install
What you're running into falls within your court of responsibility. If you used the installer - it prompts you what's to be installed prior to being installed
https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/blob...install.sh#L36 and it is your due diligence and responsibility to be aware of what a script is doing on your machine before using it.
MySQL
Your data is likely not lost, MariaDB is a different drop in place MySQL server from Oracle's (MySQL) but they mount different data directories on your system. You could uninstall MariaDB and reinstall MySQL and your server will likely remount the old data directory and your databases will show up as you expect.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, please update what?
Support
As Trust mentioned - Discord is the best place to get help, support forums are going to be archived here soon.
Installer Future
The installer is out date for Linux because most people have been running the far superior setup with
https://github.com/akkadius/akk-stack - however - I will be updating all installers very soon

The installer and akk-stack allow you to use your own database and compile your own binaries
