I believe you can only have one MySQL/Mariadb installation.

There is a third MySQL connection available in Linux that works very
well. However if the distro supports 3.3.x like Ubuntu it can be
difficult to install and get working with 3.4.x

I know MySQL Workbench works with Mariadb in Linux. In Windows, Mariadb
installs another GUI, Heidi I believe. My understanding is if something
works with MySQL it will work with Mariadb. Mariadb uses the some names
for the files as does MySQL so you can use the MySQL documentation.
